Abstract

The host–predator relationship of the myceliophagous nematode Aphelenchus avenue Bastian and the predaceous hyphomycete Dactylaria Candida (Nees) Sacc. was investigated under laboratory conditions, using phase-contrast microscopy of whole-mount preparations and thin resin (Spurr) sections. Adhesive trapping knobs were profusely produced by D. Candida and these proved efficient nematode-trapping agents. Nonconstricting rings were rare and never seen to be operative. Dactylaria Candida was found to be capable of parasitizing nematode eggs.
