Abstract
A total of 297 fungal isolates belonging to 20 genera and 33 species were isolated and identified from eggs and females of Meloidogyne spp. in Bangladesh. The predominant genera were Fusarium, Aspergillus and Penicillium; and the significant ones were Purpureocillium, Trichoderma and Pochonia. The 24 well tissue culture plate screening technique was applied for pathogenicity tests against Meloidogyne incognita in vitro. The average percentages of egg parasitism, egg hatch inhibition and juvenile mortality varied significantly and were ranged from 8.2 to 64.9% (p = 0.05), 24.8 to 72.4% (p = 0.05), and 2.3 to 33.1% (p = 0.05), respectively. Two isolates of Purpureocillium lilacinum (PLSAU 1 and PLSAU 2) and one isolate of Pochonia chlamydosporia (PCSAU 1) reduced more than 60% average root galls of tomato, eggplant and cucumber in greenhouse experiments. This is the first investigation of fungi associated with nematodes in the country and their biological control potential against M. incognita.
