Overview

This study shows fungal diversity reduces nematode impacts in potato crops, indicating biocontrol potential for sustainable agriculture.

Key Points

  • To explore the diversity and biocontrol potential of fungi associated with cyst nematodes in Swiss potato agroecosystems.
  • Isolated culturable fungi from cysts and soils in potato fields
  • Identified fungal operational taxonomic units through sequencing
  • Evaluated antagonistic activity of selected fungi against Meloidogyne incognita
  • Identified 78 fungal OTUs, predominantly Ascomycota
  • Fusarium was the most abundant genus identified
  • Orbilia brochopaga reduced root galling by 63%, showing strong antagonistic activity
