Abstract

This chapter aims to highlight the significance of nematophagous fungi, their efficacy as biological control agent as well as their possible role in future control strategies of nematodes, particularly those concerning the integrated nematode management programme. Information is given on their morphology, mode of action, ecology, distribution, and effect on plant parasitic nematodes.
