Popis: An experimental study was carried out in pots to investigate the activity of Nemathorin, natural product and biopesticides against root-knot nematodes (RKNs) on tomatoes. Fosthiazate and abamectin proved to be the most effective treatments which suppressed the RKN population by 82.1%. Furthermore, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus 2 (AMF2) was the superior treatment that reduced galls/root system followed by abamectin with the values of 72.5% and 67.2%, respectively. In addition, fosthiazate, cadusafos and crustacean2 gave the highest increase in the root length with the values of 55.8%, 54.6% and 54.6%, respectively. AMF2 was the most effective treatment which increases the root weight by 43.9%, while azadirachtin decreased the rootweight by 12.2% compared to untreated check. AMF2, cadusafos and crustacean2 not only increased the shoot length but also increased the shoot weight. Azadirachtin recorded the minimum increase in shoot system length and weight.
