“…The highest levels of R. similis control occurred in applications of FO162 with B. firmus. The improved level of control of R. similis in the presence of both agents might be explained first by the presence of bioactive metabolites produced by B. firmus that have the potential to kill nematodes in soil (Giannakou et al 2004(Giannakou et al , 2007, and secondly, by the presence of FO162 in the roots, which inhibits nematode penetration, thereby exposing R. similis to B. firmus metabolites in the soil. The effectiveness of B. firmus in the control of R. similis, M. incognita and D. dipsaci has been demonstrated in previous studies (Mendoza et al 2008).…”

“…in golf greens (Wick 2006) and R. similis and Ditylenchus dipsaci in in vitro conditions (Mendoza et al 2008) has been studied. Satisfactory control of rootknot nematodes in greenhouse cultivated crops was obtained when this bionematicide was incorporated into the soil or applied by drip irrigation (Giannakou et al 2004(Giannakou et al , 2007. In addition, in vitro bioassays demonstrated that BioNem Ò WP in a range of 0.5 to 2.5 g per kg soil provided effective control of R. similis (Mendoza et al 2008).…”

The biological control efficacy of single or multiple applications of the mutualistic endophyte Fusarium oxysporum strain 162, the egg pathogen Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251 and the antagonistic bacteria Bacillus firmus toward Radopholus similis was investigated in pot trials with banana under glasshouse conditions. R. similis was controlled substantially in single and combined applications of F. oxysporum with P. lilacinus or B. firmus. The combination of F. oxysporum and P. lilacinus caused a 68.5% reduction in nematode density whereas the individual applications reduced the density by 27.8% and 54.8% over the controls, respectively. Combined application of F. oxysporum and B. firmus was the most effective treatment in controlling R. similis on banana (86.2%), followed by B. firmus alone (63.7%). The compatibility of the biocontrol agents, as well the capacity of F. oxysporum to colonize banana roots in the absence or presence of P. lilacinus was also investigated. P. lilacinus did not adversely affect endophytic colonization by F. oxysporum. Biological control of R. similis in banana can therefore be enhanced via combined applications of antagonists with different modes of action that target different stages in the infection process.

“…These two biopesticides were used for Anastasiadis et al (2007), where P. lilacinus and B. firmus obtained a suppression of J2 M. incognita of 58 % and 66 % after 7 and 14 days, respectively, compared with the control. The blue-green alga Microcoleus vaginatus was utilized by Khan et al (2005) against the nematode M. incognita on tomato plants.…”

“…When utilized against juvenile stages (J2), the concentrations of 2.5 % and 3 % showed 100 % nematode mortality after 24 h. Despite the laboratory assays, these data show importance and promise in regarding the nematicide activity of BioNem ® , requiring field studies to evaluate its efficiency. According to Anastasiadis et al (2007), the formulate BioNem ® contains 3 % of lyophilized bacterial spores and 97 % of nontoxic active ingredients, such as plant and animal extracts. The authors also tested the efficiency of this product against nematodes, and on dilution of the 4 kg/ ha…”

Basic and Applied Aspects of Biopesticides

Currently the major challenge of humanity is focused on population growth/ increase through agricultural production in order to meet the demand for food. Overtime, different pests have emerged, with some being of great importance. Among these pests, the nematodes are noted for attacking leguminous plants, grasses, citrus, and other fruits. The main pest species are of the genus Heterodera, Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, and Globodera. These nematodes cause losses up to 100 %, preventing agriculture of certain areas. Financially, about $100 billion annual damage is caused by nematodes. These amount to 90 % of the yield of cotton, yams, beans, and soybeans, and in citrus damage is estimated at 14 % of production. Alternative methods of control are being studied, and in this context, a bacterium of the genus Bacillus has prominence and importance. Besides Bacillus subtilis, some by pesticides are already marketed for the control of nematodes, such as Bioarc ® the basis of Bacillus megaterium, Bio Zeid ® the basis of Trichoderma album, and also using the brown alga, Ascophyllum nodosum (Algaefol ® ), among others. The objective of this chapter is to report the use of different Bacillus species and some biopesticides used to control nematodes of agricultural importance.
