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