This chapter focuses on the virulence mechanisms of predaceous, endoparasitic, toxin-producing and egg and female-parasitic fungi. The importance of identifying and considering the specificity of these fungal biological control agents against the developmental stages of certain plant parasitic nematode species in the management of these nematodes is also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
