Abstract

Three types of soils sampled, from 80 sites of Pusa farm have shown tbat nematode destroying fungi exist in all soil habitats. Sixty-one isolates were made consisting of 41 endoparasites and 20 predatory species. A total of nine nematophagous species represented by 7 genera were identified. Most common endoparasites were Catenaria vermicala Brichfield (13.75%) followed by C. anguillulae Sorokin (8.75%). Amongst the predators, the commonest being Monacrosporium megalosporum Drechsler (12.5%) followed by Stylopage leiohypha Drechsler (8.75%) and Cystopage cladospora Drechsler (2.5%). Rich in organic matter and humus soils were most fruitful source for Cystopage cladospora Drechsler and Harposporium arcuatum Barron respectively.
