Plant-parasitic nematodes cause enormous losses to the farm income by way of reduced yields as well as the quality of the produce. Besides, they have pivotal role as initiators, cooperators, aggravates and synergists for many other diseases of plants. Extensive use of pesticides and other problems have generated interest amongst the scientists to explore alterative approaches for combating with these noxious organisms. The idea behind the present book is to gather information at one place on different aspects of nematode control on high value crops. There are 24 chapters dealing with different aspects of control measures. The chapters have been written by recognized authorities currently involved in research in their respective fields form India as well as from U.S.A., U.K, China, Brazil and other countries.
