Abstract

Parasitic nematodes are one of the important plant pests that attack various types of cultivated plants. In Indonesia, 26 species of parasitic nematodes that attack food crops, horticulture and plantations have been identified. One such nematode, Meloidogyne, is the most destructive parasitic nematode. Utilization of other microorganisms as natural enemies of nematodes from the fungal group can be used as biological agents. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Disease, Department of Pests and Plant Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University Makassar. This study aims to determine the ability of Fusarium Fusarium isolates. . The results showed that the application of Fusarium isolate (Fusarium .spp) and the given liquid media was able to cause juvenile mortality of root knoot nematodes (Meloidogyne sp.). And the time required by Fusarium fungi .spp and liquid media to cause nematode mortality was 24 hours, but the highest mortality occurred at 9 hours after application, namely 7.74 at the BNJ test level of 0.05%.
