“…Compounds produced by Alternaria , Chaetomium , Cladosporium , Clonostachys Fusarium , Phyllosticta , Piriformospora and Trichoderma strains have been shown to alter the chemical composition of existing metabolites, or increase their production, within the host plant resulting in plant growth promotion or induced resistance to invading nematodes [ 112 , 113 , 120 , 124 , 127 , 128 ]. Alternatively, Acremonium , Diaporthe , Epichloë , Melanconium , Phialemonium and Purpureocillium species can produce bioactive compounds that directly inhibit nematode eggs, juveniles, and females [ 108 , 115 , 121 , 124 , 128 , 129 ]. Strains of Chaetomium , Clonostachys , Phyllosticta and Trichoderma have also been reported as hyper colonizers that can outcompete plant pathogens, including nematodes, for space and nutrients within the plant host [ 110 , 112 , 113 , 123 , 124 ].…”
