Yucca and Quillaja extracts have been tested on several crops, ranging from citrus and grapes to tomatoes and many cole crops. Some trials are presented as examples.
Evaluation of Quillaja Extract and Yucca Ag Aide for Nematode Control Several species of nematode cause substantial damage to turfgrass. Conventional chemicals for nematode control are effective but have the disadvantages of being expensive and
may be hazardous to people and non-target soil microorganisms. Natural products extracted from plants are being investigated as an alternative to chemical control. These materials are much less hazardous than synthetic nematicides and probably have less disruption of trophic pathways in the
soil ecosystem.

QL Agri - Natural Nematode Control Quillaja saponaria extract, QL Agri, was tested in vitro and in field trials for determining its ability to control phytopathogenic nematodes.
Production parameters (kg of grapes per plant) were also recorded.
The Effect of Yucca Ag-Aide on Cool-season grasses growth Green, which is the most important part of a golf course, consists of about 35,000-45,000 m2 in size, and is where majority of maintenance effort is performed, and is subject to daily trampling of mechanical and artificial nature.
