Microscopia eletrônica de varredura de fungos nematófagos associados a Tylenchulus Semipenetrans e Pratylenchus Jaehni

Nematophagous fungi have been studied as a promising alternative for the management of nematodes of citrus. This study had the objective of documenting by scanning electron microscopy the outslading morphological structures for the identification of the main species of nematophagous fungi involved in the study and proving the pathogenicity of the isolated ones associated with T. semipenetrans and P. jaehni, Isolated came from in citrus orchards, mainly in São Paulo State, were studied in the Laboratory of Scanning Electron Microscopy of FCAV/UNESP - Campus de Jaboticabal-SP. The data obtained in this study have confirmed that the scanning electron microscopy is an effective tool to assist in the understanding of way of action of the nematophagous fungi: Arthrobotrys oligospora, A. conoides, A. robusta, A. musiformis, Dactylella leptospora, Monacrosporium eudermatum and M. elegans and to reveal details of their reproductive structures and the capture, to confirm the pathogenicity of the isolated to T. semipenetrans and P. jaehni, as well as to confirm the identification of some isolated.

Estabelecimento de fungos nematófagos aplicados no campo para o controle dos nematoides-chaves dos citros no Brasil

Monitoring the survival of nematophagous fungi is needed to establish periods of reapplication of formulations of nematophagous fungi to control the citrus nematode in the field. We monitored the survival of fungi: Arthrobotrys robusta, A. oligospora, A. musiformis Dactylella leptospora and Monacrosporium eudermatum in plots treated with 1, 2, 4, 6 liters of the formulation of fungi/plant or witness without the application, during the period of nine months with the first assessment six months after application and the other with intervals of three months after the first evaluation. The fungus D. leptospora was found only in the evaluation of 6 months after treatment application, indicated a short survival time in the soil. However, the isolated A. robusta, A. musiformis and A. oligospora were recovered in all evaluations and especially in plots treated with higher doses of the formulation and witness. Monacrosporium eudermatum was recovered in all experimental periods and even in assessing the witness portion of nine months after application. The fact of the presence of species of Arthrobotrys and M. eudermatum in control plots indicates that native species that were already orchard.
