  abstract = {{R}oot-knot disease caused by {M}eloidogyne incognita is a matter of grave concern as it affects several crop plants. {T}he potential of {P}aecilomyces lilacinus as a biocontrol agent has been found to be equivalent to any commonly used nematicide. {T}he use of solid state fermentation may allow the elaboration of formulations with fungi that are employed in the control of nematodes. {A}iming to select a low-cost substrate for spore production of {P}aecilomyces lilacinus, coffee husks, cassava bagasse and defatted soybean cake were utilized as substrates, and sugar-cane bagasse was used as a support. {T}he products obtained by {SSF} were evaluated for their nematicide activity in pot experiments containing the plant {C}oleus blumei inoculated with {M}. incognita. {T}he plants were evaluated 2 months after inoculation. {A}ll biocomposts showed a reduction in the number of nematodes, this being 80%, for coffee husks, around 60% for cassava bagasse and almost 100% for defatted soybean cake.},
