Abstract
Changes in the fungal community resulting from nematode suppression were studied by comparing the number of fungal species in the soil and mungbean roots between soils with and without amendment with Lantana camara. Addition of L. camara to the soil at 1% (w:w) significantly reduced the Meloidogyne javanica population density in the soil and in the roots of mungbean, as well as subsequent root-knot infestation of mungbean, confirming that nematode suppressiveness was induced by this organic amendment. L. camara amendment was associated with an increase in fungal populations, especially those with nematicidal activity. The soil was probably the major source of fungal endophytes in mungbean roots since nearly all the endophytic fungi were also found in the soil. L. camaraamended soils contained several fungi that were not found in unamended soil, including an Acremonium sp., Aspergillus fumigatus, Drechslera australiensis, Fusarium culmorum, Penicillium notatum and Trichoderma viride. The fungi in the inner root tissues of mungbean growing in L. camara-amended soil included an Acremonium sp., F. solani, Macrophomina phaseolina, Penicillium sp., and Trichoderma viride. Only T. viride was not encountered in the inner root tissues of mungbean in unamended soil. M. phaseolina and F. solani were isolated with relatively high frequency from the inner root tissues of mungbean growing in unamended soils while the remaining endorhizal fungi were more frequent in amended soils. M. phaseolina, though isolated extensively from the inner root tissues, either did not occur in the soil or was not isolated by the soil dilution technique used. When fungi from soil amended with L. camara were tested for their nematicidal and hatch-inhibiting activity, Aspergillus niger produced the greatest nematode mortality, while T. viride caused the greatest inhibition of egg hatching of M. javanica.
