Plant-parasitic nematodes are the most damaging pest in agriculture throughout the world. Biological control offers a striking alternative to the use of chemical pesticides. Nematophagous fungi are one of the biocontrol agents for suppression of plant-parasitic nematodes. Among the nematophagous fungi, Beauveria bassiana has shown some promise of the use of fungi. This review updates about the recent progress in biocontrol of plant-parasitic nematodes through the utilization of Beauveria bassiana and their possible mechanism of action to further enhance our understanding about the biological control of plant-parasitic nematodes.
