Previous studies have demonstrated that volatile organic compounds (VOCs), produced by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were able to inhibit the development of phytopathogenic fungi. In this context, the nematicidal potential of the synthetic mixture of VOCs, constituted of alcohols and esters, was evaluated for the control of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica, which causes losses to crops of high economic value. The fumigation of substrate containing second- stage juveniles with VOCs exhibited nematicidal effect higher than 30% for the lowest concentration tested (33.3 mu L g(-1) substrate), whereas at 66.6 and 133.3 mu L g(-1) substrate, the nematode mortality was 100%. The present results stimulate other studies on VOCs for nematode management.
