"meloidogyne incognita" is a polyphagous nematode that severely damages tomato crops by causing lesions in the roots by using a stylet, which allows other soil-dwelling fungal parasites to infect the host plant and cause complex disease interactions. "a. strictum" is reported to be a nematode egg parasite, as the eggs of "m. incognita" infested plants were found to be empty under "a. strictum" treatment. this treatment of "a. strictum" coupled with "trichoderma harzianum" was found to be a very promising combination in the control of "m. incognita" in tomato plants.
