The objective of this study was to isolate and identify
nematophagous fungi from rice-producing areas of Costa
Rica. The study was conducted between April 2008 to
August 2009. Soil from three rice-producing regions of
Costa Rica, Central Pacifi c, Atlantic and Region Huetar
Chorotega were analyzed by the sprinkling plate method
in search of nematophagous fungi. The fungal isolated
were identifi ed as Trichoderma sp., Paecilomyces sp.,
Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium tabacinum, Fusarium
sp., Monacrosporium sp., Aspergillus sp., Geotrichum sp.,
Phythium sp., Cladosporium, Curvularia sp., Phoma sp.,
Oomycete and sterile mycelium. The results suggest a high
diversity of nematophagous fungi with potential for use as
biological control agents.
