| dc.description.abstract | Paecilomyces lilacinus, Phoma herharum and three isolates of Fusarium oxysporum differed significantly
in their ability to parasitize eggs and females of Meloidogyne javanica. P. lilacinus and F. oxysporum-l
significantly (P<O.OS) parasitized more than 70% of eggs and females while F. oxysporum-3 parasitized less than
20%. Also, P. lilacinus and F. oxysporum-l had the greatest suppressive effect on hatching. In general, control
Petri-dishes and those treated with F. oxysporum-3 had the highest proportions of hatched eggs, but exhibited
the least levels of egg parasitism. The fungus P. lilacinus significantly CP<O.OS) parasitized eggs of M. javanica,
M. incognita and M. arenaria but no significant differences were detected in the levels of parasitism. | en_US |
