Plant parasitic nematodes are costly burdens of crop production,
causing an estimated US$80 - 118 billion per year in damage to
crops. They are associated with nearly every important agricultural
crop, and are a significant constraint on global food security.
Regulations on the use of chemical pesticides have resulted in
growing interest in alternative methods of nematode control. Future
changes in climate, cropping systems, food habits, as well as
social and environmental factors also affect the options for
nematode control. Taking a systematic crop by crop approach, this
book: Outlines the economic importance of specific plant parasitic
nematode problems on the major food and industrial crops. Presents
the state-of-the-art management strategies that have been developed
to reduce specific nematode impacts, and outlines their
limitations. Contains case studies to illustrate impact in the
field. Aims to anticipate future changes in nematode disease
pressure that might develop as a result of climate change, and new
cropping systems.
