The damage caused by nematodes to agricultural crops worldwide runs into billions of dollars and cyst nematodes are one of the most important of these nematode pests. Although initially assumed to be a major problem only in temperate regions, they are now considered to be of global importance across a range of different agro-ecological zones. This unique book, the only one in recent years to concentrate wholly on cyst nematodes, offers a global perspective on this important crop pest. An international team of contributors, each one an active researcher in this area, presents an extensi

This book provides an in-depth review of coffee-parasitic nematodes, which in some regions of the world have decimated plantations since late nineteenth century. Throughout its 17 chapters, written by specialists from many research institutions worldwide, this book reviews key aspects of this subject, such as taxonomy of coffee-parasitic Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus species, nematode management, interference of nematodes on coffee physiology, breeding for nematode-resistance and prospects of development of nematode-resistant transgenic coffees. Some chapters present in detail the nematode prob

This book is an in-depth study of plant nematodes and discusses agrotechnical, physical, and chemical measures for the control of parasitic nematodes. The most harmful pests (cyst-forming, gall, stem, and other nematodes) are described individually. In addition, contemporary methods for the study of nematodes are detailed. A comprehensive bibliography is included.

Nematode parasites cause widespread mortality in both man and domestic animals resulting in both major economic and clinical implications. Modern molecular and biochemical methods are now being employed to study immunological mechanisms and host/parasite membrane relationships that may clarify the route towards developing better pharmacological control. This book reviews current research in these areas.

Host plant resistance is one of the cornerstones upon which integrated pest management is based. Improved pest management is an essential element of sustainable agriculture. Resistance to nematodes is currently under utilized, particularly in developing countries. This practically orientated book describes methods for evaluating the resistance and tolerance of plant cultivars to parasitic nematodes, and provides specific instructions on all phases of resistance screening. With the current emphasis on decreasing the use of chemical nematicides, this book is a timely addition to the subject.
