Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association The number of fungal propagules in soil was correlated with the initial dose and decreased over time at higher doses.
- Intervention effect The fungus at 10 and 100 g of spores/m2 significantly reduced Meloidogyne arenaria populations in the second and third nematode generations.
- Intervention effect Colonized egg masses and non-viable eggs increased with fungal inoculum.
- Intervention effect The fungus was most effective at a density of IO6 sporedg of soil.
- Observation At the highest control level, only 50 O/O of the eggs were parasitized.
- Observation Twenty three percent of the larvae remained, an important residual inoculum potential.
