Abstract | ||||
In a greenhouse experiment, Arthrobotrys conoides and A. oligosporal showed the highest efficiency in reducing M.incognita population during the first 4 weeks affter planting. Paecilomyces lilacinus, Verticilliurn chlamytiosporium and Trichoderma harzianvm, on the other hand, gave their maximum effect 8 weeks after planting. Out of all fungi tested, P. lilacinus achieved significantly the highest percentages of reduction on both nematode galling and L2 in soil, 8 weeks after planting. V. chlamydosporium and Trichoderma harzianum generally resulted in moderat reductions of nematode counts, during all the tested intervals. After 12 weeks from planting, nematode suppression declined in all tested fungal treatments; however, P. filacinus was the most effective and Arthrobotrys spp were the least effective. | ||||
