“…Root-knot nematodes, represented by Meloidogyne species, are globally ubiquitous and impact over 2000 plant species including economically important crops such as tomato, cotton, cucumber, melon, soybean and rice [ 104 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 , 112 ]. Many fungal genera have been reported as having inhibitory effects on Meloidogyne species, including: Acremonium , Alternaria , Arthrobotrys , Chaetomium , Cladosporium , Clonostachys , Diaporthe , Drechslerella , EpichloĂ« , Epiccocum , Fusarium , Gibellulopsis , Melanconium , Metacordyceps , Monacrosporium , Neotyphodium , Paecilomyces , Phialemonium , Phyllosticta , Piriformospora , Purpureocillium , Talaromyces and Trichoderma [ 106 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 , 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 , 126 ]. Species from one or more of these genera have also been reported as having similar antagonistic effects towards other species of nematodes [ 106 ].…”
