  "abstract": "<p>The present study was carried out to determine the efficacy of six fungal genera on the viability of eggs and second stage juveniles (J2) of&nbsp;<em>Meloidogyne incognita</em>. Cultures of all test fungi were prepared on potato dextrose agar (PDA).&nbsp;<em>Lecanicilliummus carium&nbsp;</em>was found to be highly effective in infecting eggs (79.6%), reducing egg hatching (6.9%), and causing the mortality of J2(78%), followed by&nbsp;<em>L. psalliotae</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Trichodermahamatum,</em>&nbsp;compared to the controls. In contrast,&nbsp;<em>Fusariumsolani&nbsp;</em>demonstrated low infection of nematode eggs and J2.&nbsp;<em>Aspergillus niger</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>A. nidulans</em>&nbsp;did not show significant (<em>P</em>= 0.05) egg parasitism but these species were highly toxic againstJ2causing high mortality (50%).All the other fungal species showed moderate levels of infection of both eggs and J2. Our study demonstrated that&nbsp;<em>L. Muscarium&nbsp;</em>might be a potential biocontrol agent for the management of&nbsp;<em>M. incognita,&nbsp;</em>but further studies are needed to test its efficacy in the field.</p>",
