Abstract The root knot nematode Meloidogyne spp. is an important
endoparasite limiting the cultivation of horticultural species
and affecting the plants of at least 3000 species, including grasses,
vegetables, ornamentals, fruit and forest. The aim of this study was
to estimate the potential of three species of Trichoderma as antagonists
of M. incognita in plants of Capsicum chinense under greenhouse
conditions. A bioassay was established with plants of C. chinense previously
inoculated with Trichoderma spp. and transplanted to pots
with sterile substrate; the plants were subsequently inoculated with
300 infective second-stage larvae (J2) and 1000 larvae eggs of M.
incognita. A completely… More >
