Plant parasitic nematodes are one of the major threats to quantitative and
qualitative production of several economic crops growing around the
world. Nematodes are expected to cause annual global loss of $358
billion to agricultural crops. Growers generally depend primarily on
chemical nematicides to solve the nematode problem but the negative
impact of chemicals on the environment and the resistance developed by
these plant parasitic nematodes against the nematicides demand for an
alternative approach that should be eco-friendly and cost effective.
Biocontrol agents are important components of eco-friendly pest
management systems. Among the biocontrol agents, fungi have been
found the most effective that reduce nematode populations. Fungal antagonists of nematodes consist of a wide range of organisms belonging
to divergent orders and families, which include nematode trapping fungi,
endoparasitic fungi, parasite of nematode eggs and cysts and symbiotic
fungi. They reduce nematode population directly through parasitism and
antibiosis or by providing higher nutrient and water uptake to the plant
or by modifying the root morphology. Besides, they can also induce
resistance against nematodes by activating hormone mediated plant
defense mechanisms. In order to maximize the benefits, fungal biocontrol
agents need to be included in integrated nematode management (INM)
programs. This chapter provides an overview of the potential of various
fungal biocontrol agents against plant parasitic nematodes. Besides, cost
effective technologies for the mass production of these biocontrol agents
have been also discussed.
