Molecular characterization of Pochonia Chlamydosporia, Zare and Bio-Management of disease complex in Okra (Abelmoselus esculentus L. Moench) Using Microbial Antagonist

Abstract

The nematophagous fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia Goddard is a potential bio-agent agent of root-knot nematode. Itis a wide spread bio-control fungus of Heterodera spp. strains of Pochonia chlamydosporia isolated were identified as P. chlamydosporia by non-transcribed sequences like the intergenic spacers (IGS) amplification newlineby IGS1 and IGS2 primers and also by amplification of ITS regions through the use of universal primers. newline
