Plant parasitic nematodes cause an estimated US$100 billion per year in damage to crops. They are associated with nearly every important agricultural crop, and have a significant effect on global food security. Future changes in cropping systems, food habits, climate, as well as social and regulatory factors, will affect the options available for integrated nematode management (INM). These factors have already generated a growing interest in new and improved methods of nematode management. Eighty nematologists from all over the world share their views on INM by taking a systematic crop by crop approach. This book: Outlines the economic importance of specific nematode problems on the major food, feed and industrial crops. Presents state-of-the-art management strategies for reducing nematode impacts, and outlines their limitations. Contains global case studies to illustrate impact in the field. Anticipates future changes in nematode disease pressure that may develop as a result of climate change, and new cropping systems. Providing a practical guide to nematode management, this book is essential for university and industrial researchers, extension agents and those involved in training young scientists in plant health management.
