The mode of action of this biocontrol agent is penetration by means of the hyphae into the target nematode eggs.
This fungus produces chlamydospores that enhance its establishment and survival in the soil.
Incorporating chlamydospores into the soil increases the probability of nematode egg parasitism and protects them from adverse environmental conditions.
