Integrated management and biocontrol of vegetableand grain crops nematodes

The second volume of the IMPD series describes aspects related to most important phytoparasitic nematodes, considering the integration of biological control methods with other management practices and technologies, including the use of predatory nematodes and microbial rhizosphere antogonists. Chapters cover topics such as the mode of action and interactions of nematophagous fungi, the efficacy of control and management of plant parasitic nematode communities through a soil conservation approach, and exploitation of nematodes-bacteria antagonistic relationships. A focus is given on regional issues, like the management of nematodes parasitizing staple crops, i.e. Andean tubers or some important grain crops, like soybean in North and South America or cereals. A review onnematode management in cotton is integrated by a chapter on management of nematodes on wheat. Concepts and experiences are divulged for application in plant nematode management with a review of epidemiology, use of innovative technologies, resistance, biocontrol and basic descriptions for teaching and professional work Terms specific to the topics examined are explained in the text and with figures INDICE: From the contents Introduction. 1.
