However, there is no work that mentions the nematicidal activity of the SMC from shiitake. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the nematicidal potential of L. edodes spent mushroom compost (SMC) on Panagrellus spp. SMC action on Panagrellus spp. larvae was evaluated in Petri dishes containing 2% water agar (WA2%). In comparison to the control group, the number of intact larvae in the group treated with SMC of L. edodes was significantly (p<0,01) reduced by 77, 73, 71% after 24, 48 and 72 exposure period respec tively. The current study presents the possibility of using an agroindustrial residue (SMC) of low cost to con trol nematodes. SMC has nematicidal activity and may in the future be beneficially used in other sustainable approaches.engAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Biological controlWaste recoveryShiitakeArtigo10.1016/j.sajb.2021.10.008
