Management of nematodes may be approached by using a combination of methods in an integrated pest management system or may involve only one of these methods. Some of the most commonly practiced methods include physical control, cultural management, crop rotation, use of trap crops, use of resistant and tolerant cultivars and chemicals. Method # 1. Physical Control: Nematodes in soil [...]
Plant parasitic nematodes broadly divided into two groups above ground feeders and underground feeders. On the basis of feeding behaviour, underground feeders are falling under different sub groups like ecto-, endo- and semi-endoparasites. Further, they classified as sedentary endoparasites (Meloidogyne and Heterodera), migratory endoparasites (Pratylenchus and Radopholus), semi-endoparasites (Tylenchulus and Rotylenchulus), sedentary ectoparasites (Sheath nematode, Hemicriconemoides) and migratory ectoparasites (Longidorus, [...]
