An in vitro bioassay was carried out with compounds 1-4, at the concentration of 50 and 5 mug mL-1 against the phytonematodes M. incognita and H. glycines. Although the four compounds showed some nematocidal property, the most active was (1), causing 70% mortality of M. incognita at the concentration of 50 mug mL-1. %K nematodes %K natural nematicides %K velvet bean %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0100-40422003000300009
