Alternative methods that use a combination of nematophagous fungi associated with organic mineral fertilizer have been little used and shall be studied further, since they present potential for nematode control in addition to supplement fertility and improve soil biota. Moreover, there is a growing demand of the society, which has become more demanding on the use of management practices more environmentally appropriate. Thus, the objective of this work was to test the compatibility of an organic mineral fertilizer based on castor bean cake to Pochonia chlamydosporia for the control of Meloidogyne javanica in lettuce. Two tests were performed to study the viability of P. chlamydosporia in Rizomax (which contains fungus P. chlamydosporia), and UFV-TM100 (organic mineral fertilizer) with or without addition of water. One hundred grams of UFV-TM100 and 1 g of Rizomax were placed in a 3-L plastic bag with no addition of water. The bag was sealed and vigorously shaken until homogenization of the mixture and kept in a closed room. The determination of the CFU of P. chladoutmydosporia was carried out on days 0, 15, 30 and 45 both in pure Rizomax and Rizomax + UFV-TM100. The same methodology was used in the second test, but with the addition of water in the mixture and determination of CFU of P. chlamydosporia was carried out on days 0, 7 and 14. The number of CFU of P. chlamydosporia did not increase within the addition of water in Rizomax in the assessed period; however, the number of CFU was reduced by 27, 54 and 100% in the Rizomax + UFV-TM100 on days 0, 7 and 14, respectively, for the product Rizomax. The number of CFU of P. chlamydosporia in Rizomax did not decrease in the test with no addition of water, but the number of P. chlamydosporia in Rizomax + UFV-TM100 was reduced by 30% on day 45 in comparison to day 0, 15 and 30. A third test was conducted to study the colonization by P. chlamydosporia in a substrate in the presence of UFV-TM100. One litter of substrate was poured in a 5-L plastic bag containing 18 g of UFV- TM100 and 0.18 g of Rizomax. The bag was sealed and shaken vigorously for two minutes to homogenize the mixture, which was distributed into three 200 mL plastic glasses. A second treatment, with no UFV-TM100, was used to evaluate the development of P. chlamydosporia in the absence of UFV-TM100. The substrate in each of the plastic glass was kept moist and samples were taken on days 0 and 14 to determine the number of CFU of P. chlamydosporia. The CFU number of P. chlamydosporia did not differ between Rizomax and Rizomax + UFV-TM treatments in the evaluation periods but the CFU number for P. chlamydosporia was 61% higher on day 14 than on day 0. A forth test was carried out to study the effect of the doses of Rizomax on the growth of lettuce and on the development of M. javanica. Plastic pots containing 2 L of substrate received 36 g of UFV - TM100, and after 15 days, lettuce seedlings at 21 days of age were transplanted. Rizomax was added together with TM100-UFV at doses of 0, 0.36 and 0.45 g/kg substrate, which corresponded to 0, 1, and 1.25% Rizomax . The substrate in each pot was infested with 5,000 eggs of M. javanica on same day of incorporation of UFV- TM100 and Rizomax incorporation. The same doses of Rizomax , but in the absence of UFV - TM100 were tested as control treatment. Sixty days after transplanting, the diameter of the head of lettuce (cm) , the fresh matter weight , the dry matter weight, the fresh root system weight, the number of galls and eggs of M. javanica per gram of root system were evaluated. The diameter of the head of the lettuce, the weight of the shooting fresh matter and the weight of shooting dry matter increased by 41, 44 and 29% , respectively, in the presence of UFV-TM100. The number of gals and eggs per gram of root system was reduced up to 99% when UFV-TM100 + Rizomax were applied at the dose of 1.25%. The application of Rizomax in the absence of UFV-TM100pla root system and the numb also reduced the number of galls per root system and the number of galls per gram of root system, with reductions of up to 50 and 60%, respectively. Therefore, the use of organic mineral fertilizer with the addition of a biological control agent is an efficient alternative to the control of nematodes, in addition to improve plant development.
