Abstract
Females of the soybean cyst nematode and soil samples collected from several soybean-growing areas of Tennessee [USA] in July 1981 were examined for fungal pathogens with potential as biological control agents of the nematode. Females infected with Nematophthora gynophila were isolated at 3 sites from 5 samples of roots, and resting spores of the fungus were found at 5 sites in 9 soil samples, including 2 sites where the nematode is declining. Females infected with Catenaria auxiliaris and resting spores of Verticillium chlamydosporium were also found. These fungi control populations of cereal cyst nematode in England.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
