Abstracts |
The interactions of Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251 with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices and
their significance for the control of Meloidogyne incognita on
tomato were investigated in greenhouse experiments. Application
of P. lilacinus had no effect on the frequency and intensity of
tomato root colonization by G. intraradices. Likewise, the
decline of the nematophagous fungus densities after single
application in soil was not affected by the presence of the
mycorrhizal fungus. Single application of P. lilacinus, as
pre-planting soil treatment, resulted in significant reduction
of nematode damage. In contrast, mycorrhizal inoculation did not
provide sufficient biocontrol. Combined application of the two
agents did not enhance root protection compared to single
treatments. Double treatment of mycorrhized seedlings with P.
lilacinus, as seedling drench and pre-planting soil treatment, 4
and 1 week before transplanting, respectively, resulted in the
highest reduction of the nematode damage. These results indicate
the potential of the commercial P. lilacinus strain 251 and
mycorrhiza for integration in nematode control strategies
