OverviewNematode pests of crops can cause huge losses of revenue for producers. It is therefore important to identify these pests and to apply appropriate control as early as possible in the production cycle. This is becoming even more relevant as integrated methods of crop management are becoming more widely adopted. This book covers the control of the world's most important crop nematode pests by all known means. Important aspects of nematode bionomics and biology are also covered along with the recognition of the nematodes involved. The book is illustrated with line drawings of the nematodes and it also includes pictures of the damage to plant tissues and crops in situ. Although the book is organized to reflect the many different types of pest nematodes and their modes of action, it has also been designed to ensure that access to appropriate information can be obtained via the particular crop under threat. This book is a resource for all students and lecturers of crop protection and plant pathology. Advisors and farmers should also find the book a useful part of their crop protection armoury.

Table of Contents1: Plant-parasitic nematodes, their importance and control 2: Seed gall and leaf nematodes (Anguina and Aphelenchoides) 3: Stem and trunk nematodes (Bursaphelenchus, Rhadinaphelenchus and Ditylenchus) 4: Ectoparasitic nematodes of roots (Belonolaimus, Criconemella, Hoplolaimus, Longidorus, Trichodorus, Paratrichodorus, Tylenchorhynchus and Xiphinema) 5: Semi-endoparasitic nematodes of roots (Helicotylenchus, Rotylenchulus and Tylenchulus) 6: Migratory endoparasites of roots and tubers (Hirschmanniella, Pratylenchus, Radopholus and Scutellonema) 7: Sedentary endoparasites of roots and tubers (I. Globodera and Heterodera) 8: Sedentary endoparasites of roots and tubers (II. Meloidogyne and Nacobbus) 9: Conclusions and future prospects for controlReviewsThis important book reviews information that has accumulated over the past 50 years on the biology and control of plant parasitic nematodes. Chapters are organized according to where in the plant a nematode appears. Thus, there are chapters on nematodes of seed-gall and leaf, stem and trunk, ectoparasites of roots, semi-endoparasites of roots, migratory endoparasites of roots and tubers, and sedentary endoparasites of roots and tubers. . . .This is a fine book that will be the standard for nematode control over the next few years. --IPM Practitioner<br> <br> This important book reviews information that has accumulated over the past 50 years on the biology and control of plant parasitic nematodes.
