Paecilomyces lilacinus– is one of the egg parasitic fungi associated with the eggs of root-knot and cyst nematodes which has shown bright scope for use as an effective biocontrol agent against nematodes and termed as “opportunistic fungus” becasuse it parasitizes some stages of nematodes wherever it gets an opportunity to come in contact. By adaptation, it is not nematode feeder (nematophagous). It infects, colonizes and consumes reproductive structures of root-knot and cyst nematodes at sedentary stages of its life cycle.
