The Biocontrol Functions of Strain Bv-25 Against .

is obligate parasitic nematode with a wide variety of hosts that causes huge economic losses every year. In an effort to identify novel bacterial biocontrols against , the nematicidal activity of strain Bv-25 obtained from cucumber rhizosphere soil was measured. Strain Bv-25 could inhibit the egg hatching of and had strong nematicidal activity, with the mortality rate of second-stage juveniles (J2s) at 100% within 12 h of exposure to Bv-25 fermentation broth.
