ABSTRACT
Considering the losses caused by nematodes to different host plant, rhizobacteria are presented as an alternative to to control uch pathogens. So the goal of this study was to evaluate in vitro the action of 20 isolates of rhizobacteria on hatching and motility of second stage juveniles of the Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica and on the motility of Pratylenchus zeae. The experiment was conducted under laboratory conditions and in a completely randomize design with four replications, and each experimental plot was represented by a hatching chamber. Measurements were spaced every 72 hours. After the evaluations showed that the isolates not influenced the emergence of M. incognita. M. javanica entertaining for isolates FCAV FCAV 8 and 10 showed pronounced ovicidal action. Among the isolates tested on the motility root-knot nematode, only isolates of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and B. subtilis showed potential as an agent for control of second stage juveniles of M. javanica. When we assessed the motility of isolated active on specimens of .. zeae isolates the FCAV 5, 7 and FCAV B.amyloliquefaciens exhibited potential as agents of biological control of .. zeae. These results confirm that among the rhizobacteria may be found effective agents for the control of nematodes.
