Brassica species are sources of bioactive compounds with several biological properties including biocidal activity against various soil borne pathogens and pests such as parasitic nematodes. Isothiocyanates derived from corresponding glucosinolates are major bioactive compounds responsible for this activity. In this study, glucosinolate content of red and white radish (Raphanus sativus L.), oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), turnip (Brassica rapa L.) and Arugula (Eruca sativa L.) that were previously assessed for their host suitability level of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne arenaria and Meloidogyne incognita) were determined to understand the relationship between glucosinolate content and host-suitability level of these crops. The highest glucosinolate content was in radish. Turnip revealed lower levels compared to radish. However, the lowest glucosinolate content was determined in arugula and oilseed rape. Together with previous findings demonstrating host-suitability levels, the effect of glucosinolates on biocidal potential of Brassicaceae plants to fight against root-knot nematodes were evaluated.
