Grass-Shaped Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized by the Sol-Gel Process and Their Antagonistic Properties towards the Biotrophic Parasite, Meloidogyne incognita

Table 1

Effect of various concentrations of G-ZnO NPs on J2s hatching of M. incognita in vitro after 3 days.

Treatment	Exposure period (days)	Number of second-stage juveniles (mean ± SE) hatched in different concentrations (ppm)
		1000	750	500	250	DW
G-ZnO NPs	3	115e ± 5.68 (72.61%)	139d ± 5.77 (66.90%)	170c ± 6.08 (5952%)	211b ± 6.08 (47.76%)	420a ± 0 (0%)

Each value is an average of five replicate, DW = distilled water (Control). Ppm: parts per million; SE: standard error. Values are given in parentheses represent percent inhibition in J2s hatching over the control. Values given without parentheses represent the number of the hatched J2s of M. incognita in different concentrations.
