A comprehensive resource for students and researchers Management of
Nematode and Insect-Borne Plant Diseases examines the various
aspects of disease control from an international perspective.
Leading academics and researchers around the world address the
microbial control of insect pests, the use of nematophagous fungi
and biofumigation in the control of plant-parasitic nematodes, the
use of genetically manipulated microbes, and the biology and
control of vectors. Management of Nematode and Insect-Borne Plant
Diseases provides detailed descriptions of the management of
diseases caused by insects and by plant-parasitic nematodes. This
unique book includes in-depth examinations of the use of arthropod
microbial control agents; the biology and control of bacteria; the
use of living and synthetic mulches; the genetic transformation of
microbial control agents; the integrated use of different control
options; the use of nematophagus fungi as a control agent; the use
of biofumigation; potato early dying complex; host/plant
resistance; and RNAi silencing. Each chapter is written by an
experienced scientist in that specific field to produce a single
reference resource. Management of Nematode and Insect-Borne Plant
Diseases includes: the latest research on the development of
microbial control agents against insect and mite pests up-to-date
theory on the management of the vectors and disease in fruit and
nut crops the use of mulches in the control of homopteran pests an
overview of the microbial control of insect pests a look at the
increasing role of biological control agents an examination of
nematode resistance in vegetable crops a historical background of
RNAi, its biology, and its function in the eukaryotic system and
much more Management of Nematode and Insect-Borne Plant Diseases is
a comprehensive professional resource for botanists,
agriculturalists, environmental scientists, biologists, zoologists,
ecologists, entomologists, plant pathologists, horticulturalists,
plant protection scientists, and biotechnologists.
