The single and combined effect of T. semipenetrans and F. solani was studied under pot culture conditions on growth of citrus and nematode multiplication. Nematode proved more pathogenic than fungus. In combined inoculations the injurious effects of fungus were enhanced more when it was added either simultaneously or after nematode. The prior inoculation of fungus caused reduction in nematode multiplication. Both fungal extract and cultural filtrate proved toxic to T. semipenetrans larvae under in vitro tests.
Interaction, Tylenchulus semipenetrans, Fusarium solani and Citrus
