Overview

Review highlights nematophagous fungi's potential as biological control agents against Meloidogyne in integrated pest management.

Key Points

  • Nematophagous fungi can effectively reduce root-knot nematodes, potentially enhancing crop health and yield.
  • The review covers various genera of nematophagous fungi, showcasing their diverse mechanisms of action against Meloidogyne.
  • Assessment of the role of biological control agents and integrated pest management strategies indicates sustainable pest control solutions.
  • Future research should explore the ecological interactions of these fungi within the soil microbiome for improved efficacy.
