Abstract

Parasitic nematodes are one of the essential plant pests that attack various types of cultivated plants. In Indonesia, 26 species of parasitic nematodes that attack food crops, horticulture and plantations have been identified. One such nematode, Meloidogyne, is the most destructive parasitic nematode. The utilization of other microorganisms as natural enemies of nematodes from the fungal group can be used as biological agents. We conducted this research at the Laboratory of Disease, Department of Pests and Plant Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University Makassar. This study aims to determine the ability of Fusarium spp. Fungal isolate could be added with liquid media (Gliotoxin fermentation media (GFM), Potato dextrose broth (PDB), and water) and the time required to cause juvenile mortality II root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne sp.). The results showed that the application of Fusarium isolate (Fusarium spp.) and the given liquid media was able to cause juvenile mortality of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne sp.). Moreover, the time required by Fusarium spp. Fungi and liquid media to cause nematode mortality was 24 hours, but the highest mortality occurred at 9 (jst) hours after application, namely 7.74% at the BNJ test level of 0.05%.
