Fungal parasites of root-knot nematode eggs from tropical and sub-tropical regions of Australia
Australasian Plant Pathology 20 (4), 149-154
Abstract: A survey of 48 Queensland soils for nematophagous fungi revealed the presence of Verticillium chlamydosporium and Paecilomyces lilacinus. To identify isolates with the best biocontrol potential, 26 isolates of P. lilacinus and 13 isolates of V. chlamydosporium were screened for activity against Meloidogyne javanica eggs using 3 different tests. Two isolates of V. chlamydosporium and one isolate of P. lilacinus were highly parasitic in all 3 tests.
