Abstract

An nematophagous fungi Arthrobotrys thaumasia Nema-1 and Pseudomonas putida C-5, which degrade the collagen and gelatin, was isolated from controlled horticultural soils in Seonnam-myun, Sungju-gun, Kyungpook and Woosung-myun, Gongju-shi, Chungnam to develop biological nematode pesticide. When of A. thaumasia Nema-1 culture was treated to Meloidogyne incognita, the nematicidal activity resulted in 55% at 72 hours after treatment. While the nematicidal activity increased to 65% by treating the culture mixture of Nema-1 and P. putida C-5 after 72 hours. Furthermore, the nematicidal activity of the mixture containing cinnamon extract , each of Nema-1 and C-5 culture was elevated to 89% at 72 hours after treatment, comparing to the result showed 17% and 57% of the nematicidal activity, respectively by the treatment of chemical nemato pesticide Fosthiazate and neem oil . These results suggested that the mixture of microorganisms and plant extract were more effective biological nematicide than the case of only microorganism or plant extract for nematode control.
