In vitro experiment on the effect of culture filtrates of four opportunistic fungi (Paecilomyces lilacinus, Cladosporium oxysporum, Gliocadium virens and Talaromyces flavus) on the larval hatching and mortality of Meloidogyne javanica, showed P. lilacinus the most effective and that of T. flavus the least against M. javanica. However S/100 concentration of T. flavus was slightly hatch stimulatory. Percentage mortality and hatching of M. javanica was directly proportional to the concentration of fungal filtrate and exposure time.
