“…The emissions from plant manures are complex with different chemical groups compounds [13,14,15,16]. In the macerate of the soursop leaf 41 molecules from different chemical groups were identi ed, such as terpenes, ketones, alcohols, phenols and esters, which can form interactions, resulting in complex mixtures, which exercise the function of protection, attraction, environmental adaptation and nematicidal action [21]. Some of the molecules comprising the soursop volatilome such as 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2hexenal, benzaldehyde, mircene, limonene, 2-nonanone, have a toxic effect against nematodes [22,23,24,25,26].…”
