Hirsutella rhossiliensis and Verticillium chlamydosporium infected second-stage juveniles (J2) and eggs of Meloidogyne hapla, respectively, in petri dishes and in organic soil in pots planted to lettuce in the greenhouse. In vitro, H. rhossiliensis produced 78 to 124 spores/infected J2 of M. hapla. The number of J2 in roots of lettuce seedlings decreased exponentially with increasing numbers of...

The fluctuations in Meloidogyne densities and fungal egg parasitism were determined from February 2015 to July 2016 four vegetable production sites conducted under organic two sides integrated standards. At each site, the soil nematode at transplanting end of crops, galling index, number eggs roots, percentage determined, species identified. In addition, pot experiments with taken site assess c...

<p> Investigations were made to study the effects of three nemato-pathogenic fungi<em> viz.</em> <em>Purpureocillium lilacinum</em>, <em>P. lilacinum</em> + neem cake, <em>Pochonia chlamydosporia</em> and<em> Trichoderma</em> sp. as well two synthetic insecticides (cartap hydrochloride and carbosulfan) against Root-knot Nematodes...
