Effects of some Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokin, 1883 (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) isolates on root-knot nematodes under laboratory conditions

Abstract

The aim of this study to isolate and diagnose entomopathogenic fungi obtained from soil samples taken from the plateaus and pastures of Sakarya Province in 2019, and to investigate the use of five isolates (S43/1, S43/2, S43/3, S42/1, S42/2) of the diagnosed as Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokin, 1883 (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) for control Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White, 1919) and Meloidogyne javanica (Treub, 1885) (Tylenchida: Meloidogynidae). The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Nematology in Plant Protection Central Research Institute (Republic of Turkey Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry) in 2020. The experiments were performed under laboratory conditions. Counts of dead larvae were made 24, 48 and 72 h post application and mortality rates calculated. Isolate S43/1 was the most effective isolate for control M. javanica at 108 cfu/ml causing 98.5% mortality after 24 h and 100% after 48 h. Isolate S42/2 was the most effective against M. incognita at 108 cfu/ml and with 97.1% mortality after 24 h and 100% after 72 h.
