Seven fungi isolated from spent compost and casing soil were tested for their suitability as hosts of Aphelenchoides agarici. Out of these, Fusarlum sp, was found to be a suitable host, Trichoderma sp. acted as tolerant. Trichothecium roseum and Gillaminella sp. proved to be poor hosts and Trichoderma viridi, Aspergillus niger and Trichurus spialis were found non hosts.
