Abstract. Purba RTT, Dauzi F, Sari RW, Naibaho DC, Putri QA, Maulana A, Hastutui LDS, Punnapayak H. 2022. Arthrobotrys thaumasia and musiformis as biocontrol agents against Meloidogyne hapla on tomato plant. Biodiversitas 23: 3659-3666. The use of nematode-trapping fungi a agent is an environmental-friendly step in controlling plants. aim this study was to determine the potential A. reducing attack M. tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum). isolates were tested for their ability using completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments: K+ (positive control), K- (negative KBF (Carbofuran), two treatments (A. musiformis). Root length, root weight, stem weight plants observed. results showed that could reduce up 93% 97%, respectively. Number root-knot infections caused by found lower JPN2 treatment, followed JPN1 treatment. It also recorded isolate treatment able produce highest values wet dry compared
