Abstract

An isolate of Arthrohotrys musiformis isolated previously was screened for its effectiveness against some potent plant pathogenic fungi and biocontroJ agents. An in vitro assessment of the degree of inhibition suffered by A. musiformis in presence of fellow fungi indicated that this effective nematode predator could grow well in presence of all the fungi tested except Trichoderma harzianum isolates which inhibited the growth of A. musiformis.
