Myrothecium hapla

The trichothecenes are a group of of sesquiterpenes that have attracted attention because of their involvement in toxicoses of farm animals and humans. They are produced by several fungi, eg Fusarium, Myrothecium, Trichothecium, that are parasitic on cereals. Trichothecin (100 jig/ml) decreased the motility of Anguillula aceti [142]. Verrucarin A and T-2 toxin (2 ppm) reduced the viability of M. javanica, and T-2 toxin (0.2, 2 ppm) was toxic to M. hapla and Pratylenchus neglectus [233], Given the toxicity of these compounds to plants and animals, they do not appear to be candidates as useful nematocides.
