“…The use of essential oils (EOs) is known from folk medicine centuries ago [ 8 ]. Nowadays, it seems to be a promising control strategy against different nematode plant and animal parasites ( Bursaphelenchus xylophilus , Cooperia spp., Ditylenchus dipsaci , Haemonchus contortus , Meloidogyne chitwoodi , M. incognita , M. javanica , Oesophagostomum spp., Pratylenchus penetrans , Steinernema feltiae , Trichostrongylus spp., Tylenchulus semipenetrans ) [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Microbivorous nematodes contribute to decomposition of organic matter and the release of nutrients for plant uptake [ 24 ], which makes them important components of the soil microfauna.…”
