Lind, Mårten

Abstract

The search for efficient alternatives to chemical pesticides in agriculture is of great importanceto our future food supply. A new study from SLU shows that the mycoparasitic fungus Clonostachys rosea kills parasitic nematodes in soil, does not affect non-parasitic ones, and has a significant beneficial impact on crop health.
