A nematicidal metabolite fromVerticillium chlamydosporium

Abstract

A bioassay-directed fractionation of cultures of the fungus, Verticillium chlamydosporium, demonstrated nematicidal activity, due mainly to phomalactone. Compared with aldicarb, the lethal activity against Meloidogyne incognita was less, but its activity in suppressing root invasion was similar. The extract also contained monorden. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry
