The plant-parasitic nematode Nacobbus aberrans is an endoparasite causing severe losses to a wide range of crops from North to South America. The use of native antagonistic fungi may be considered as a possible biological control alternative to reduce the damages caused by this species. Antagonistic effects of 66 potential nematophagous fungi against eggs (J1) and second-stage juveniles (J2) of N. aberrans, were evaluated in vitro on water agar. DGC test showed significant differences (p < 0.0001) in the efficacy of some fungal isolates tested, with parasitism levels for J1 and J2 of 0–95 and 1–78%, respectively. Five isolates of Purpureocillium lilacinum, Metarhizium robertsii and Plectosphaerella plurivora appeared as the most effective antagonists of N. aberrans, relying on hyphae and adhesive conidia in host infection processes.
