Abstract
⺠West African Trichoderma spp. isolates significantly suppressed root-knot nematodes. ⺠Trichoderma spp. isolates persisted in soil for at least eight weeks after application. ⺠Tomato yield was improved by 30% following Trichoderma application in field. ⺠Soil nematode densities were suppressed by up to 94% in follow-on carrot crops. ⺠The most effective Trichoderma spp. isolates were sourced from nematode egg masses.
