This book delves into the biological control of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, using the fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus. It explores the lifecycle and pathogenicity of M. incognita and details how P. lilacinus acts as a biocontrol agent. The book provides insights into the mechanisms by which the fungus parasitizes nematode eggs and larvae, reducing their population and impact on crops. It also discusses the advantages of using biocontrol methods over chemical pesticides, highlighting the environmental and economic benefits. This comprehensive guide is valuable for researchers, agronomists, and students in agricultural and biological sciences.
