This study used methanol solvent to extract active ingredients from cinnamon bark. After geting cinnamon bark extract, added chitosan powderto create biological preparations to protect coffee roots from harmful nematodes. Experimental results showed that preparations and extracts have had no effect on stimulating growth plants of aerial parts. Treatment formula for concentration of 0.2% of preparations got the highest efficiency in anti-nematicidal activity compared to other treatments. The efficiency of…
