Abstract

Results of mycological surveys of root-knot nematodes from the southern region of Bulgaria indicated that three species were associated with Meloidogyne: Fusarium oxysporum, Verticillium chlamydosporium, and Gliocladium roseum. The fungi infected up to 8.7% of the eggs in the females of Meloidogyne spp. In the field the egg parasitism by fungi was observed during September. In the pot experiments the eggs developed infection with the fungi in the first generation at the end of July. The fungi destroyed from 7.6% to 23.5% of the eggs in the next generations.
