Root exudates of marigold (Tagetes erecta), collected from intact live plants via root exudate trapping system after proper fractionation gave five different allelofractions viz., C, B, A, E and D of different polarity (non-polar to polar). Three Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) and two Emulsive Water (EW) formulations developed from 90% pure fractions clearly revealed the role of polarity of isolated fractions in imparting their toxicity against second stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne javanica. EC formulations of fractions A and B (non-polar) was found 100 % toxic to the juveniles at 200 mg ml-1 of concentrations after an incubation period of 24 h. EC and EW formulations of the fractions C and D (medium polarity) showed approximately 70 and 80 % juvenile mortality respectively at 700 and 1200 mg ml-1 concentrations, at an incubation period of 72 h, while EW formulation of fraction D (polar) found least effective against juveniles in all its test concentrations (800- 1200 mg ml-1). EC formulations of A and B at their higher concentrations of 150 & 200 µg ml-1, were not only found extremely effective in retarding egg hatch of the test nematode up to an extent of more than 98 % but also caused permanent damage to the exposed eggs.
