Laboratory results confirmed the highest reduction in egg hatching and larval mortality obtained after 48 hrs incubation period . Application mustard at 5% either before one week or 48 hrs. of nematode inoculation was the most effective treatment that significantly reduced all nematode parameters comparing to the check.

There were no significant differences between the four strawberry cultivars in disease index on the same level of each plant extract concentration.
