Three Paecilomyces species viz., Paecilomyces variotii, P. lilacinus and P. fumosoroseus were examined at various intensity levels to manage root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. Unlike P. fumosoroseus, increasing concentrations of P. variotii and P. lilacinus culture filtrates considerably inhi...
