Abstract
Certain seeds, tubers and ischolar_mains of plants were evaluated as substrates for mass production of the nematophagous fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus (Thom.) Samson. Growth of P. lilacinus as measured by diameter of the colony, spore production, weight of mycelial mat and rate of growth indicated that wheat, bajra, jowar, and rice were suitable substrates for the multiplication of P. lilacinus. The population of Tylenchulus semipenetrans Cobb decreased markedly with increase in the inoculum level of P. lilacinus, However, application of P. lilacinus in the form of spore suspension was more effective than infected wheat grains in controlling T. semipenetrans.
