Abstract:
In order to promote the further development and utilization of biocontrol strains, strain MHZ111 was isolated from the permafrost soil in Mohe. The strain was identified by morphology, ITS and 18 S rDNA sequence analysis. Its control effect against cucumber root-knot nematode was evaluated through in vitro activity tests, pot and field experiments. The results showed that strain MHZ111 was identified as Penicillium purpurogenum. The relative mortality of the fermentation of the strain to Meloidogyne incognita J2 was as high as 100%,the biocontrol effect was 71.3% in pot experiment, and 70.3% in field experiment. Penicillium purpurogenum MHZ111 strain had a great potential for the green control of cucumber root knot nematode.
