To reduce the number of pinewood nematodes (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) carried by the Japanese pine sawyer (Monochamus alternatus), we attempted to change the mycoflora and also to prevent blue-stain fungi, the main food-source fungi of the nematodes, from spreading throughout pine wilt-killed Pinus densiflora wood by inoculating other fungi into the dead logs. Trichoderma sp. 3 and Verticillium sp. inoculation treatments tended to decrease the number of the nematodes carried by the beetles. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
