Seventeen isolates of the free-living soil fungus Trichoderma spp., collected from Meloidogyne spp. infested vegetable fields and infected roots in Benin, were screened for their rhizosphere competence and antagonistic potential against root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita, in greenhouse po...

Root endophytic status of west African biocontrol agents and implications for root-knot nematode management
Naturally occurring fungal antagonists of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp., RKNs) were collected from 88 root and
corresponding rhizosphere soil samples from 50 intensively cultivated fields used for peri-urban vegetable production in
Benin, West Africa. Five species of Trichoderma viz.: T. ...

Twenty strains of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), native to West Africa, and three commercial AMF, were evaluated for their protective effect against root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., in pots and field experiments in Benin. In pots, these strains were assessed in sterilized soil followin...

Effectiveness of native West African arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in protecting vegetable crops against root-knot nematodes
Aspergillus allahabadii, previously reported only from soils in India and El Salvador, was isolated from root-knot nematode egg masses (Meloidogyne spp.) in vegetable fields in Benin. Three populations were recovered from separate fields in the Guinea savannah region from tomato and/or cabbage. T...
