BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF PLANT-PARASITIC NEMATODES USING NEMATOPHAGOUS FUNGI

摘要

The invention relates to the use of nematophagous fungi to control plant parasitic nematodes and nematicidal compositions, containing fungi which form a sticky mycelium having undifferentiated hyphae which are able to capture plant parasitic nematodes. The invention further relates to a process for protecting plants against the action of plant parasitic nematodes, which comprises treating the plants, parts of the plants/or the soil with nematophagous fungi.
