Two forms of Solanum nigrum subsp. nigrum, two forms of S. nigrum subsp. schultesii, S. americanum, S. chenopodioides, S. sarrachoides, S. scabrum, S. villosum subsp. villosum and S. villosum subsp. puniceum were grown in pots for over 4 months to measure their effect on numbers of potato cyst–nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida, in the soil. No Solanum tested significantly reduced numbers of G. rostochiensis or G. pallida. Solanum americanum, S. sarrachoides and S. villosum puniceum increased numbers of G. pallida slightly.
