Potential antagnosim of cultivated and wild grass-endophyte associations towards Meloidogyne incognita

► Endophyte-infected KY-31 tall fescue reduced chemotaxis of Meloidogyne incognita J2. ► Filtrates of Neotyphodium sp., N. coenophialum and N. sibiricum caused J2 mortality. ► J2 treated by N. sibiricum filtrate isolated from A. sibiricum had low penetration.
