Perspectives in Sustainable Nematode Management Through Pochonia chlamydosporia Applications for Root and Rhizosphere Health

Part of the book series: Sustainability in Plant and Crop Protection ((SUPP))

Abstract

Research on Pochonia chlamydosporia biology, diversity and ecology, especially multitrophic interactions, has improved our knowledge of the fungus. This has been applied to enhance the effectiveness of fungal strains and develop Pochonia-compatible Integrated Pest Management strategies. Several Pochonia-based commercial bionematicides are currently available in the biopesticide market. However, control success and adoption of the current P. chlamydosporia-based products relies upon sustainable production, proper use and maintenance of isolates/strains, as well as the development of more efficient formulations and application methods. This chapter highlights some of the requirements that are necessary to enhance our understanding of those mechanisms that underpin the potential of the fungus in controlling nematodes and enhancing crop performance. Furthermore, exploration of P. chlamydosporia multitrophic phases could pave the way to identify new applications, a good example being the use of P. chlamydosporia secondary metabolites in human and veterinary medicine.
