Nematode pests of crops can cause major losses of revenue for producers. It is therefore vital to recognise them and to apply appropriate measures to control them, as early as possible in the production cycle. Adequate nematode control is essential to the success of integrated crop management systems. This book covers control of the most important nematode pests of the world's crops, by all known, effective means. The nematodes and the damage they cause to plant tissues and to cops in situ are fully illustrated by line drawings and by black-and-white and colour photographs. Although the book is arranged by nematode pest species, the information relevant to a particular crop under threat is quickly accessed through a separate crop index. The book is an essential resource for all advanced students, lecturers and research workers in crop protection and plant pathology. Advisors to farmers will also find this book a useful addition to their crop protection libraries.

Review
"This important book reviews information that has accumulated over the past 50 years on the biology and control of plant parasitic nematodes. Chapters are organized according to where in the plant a nematode appears. Thus, there are chapters on nematodes of seed-gall and leaf, stem and trunk, ectoparasites of roots, semi-endoparasites of roots, migratory endoparasites of roots and tubers, and sedentary endoparasites of roots and tubers. . . .This is a fine book that will be the standard for nematode control over the next few years." --IPM Practitioner
