Abstract

Root–knot nematode is a significant pest of crops all over the world. It seriously harms vegetables and ornamentals. The vegetables with the worst infestations include tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, pepper, okra, lettuce, cucumber, bottle gourd, etc., and may exhibit up to 60% crop losses. The nematode is a sedentary endoparasite, and forms galls on the root system. As a result, there is a significant disruption in the absorption of water and nutrients by the roots and subsequently to the entire plant body. The nematode may be managed through a variety of strategies, including cultivation of resistant crops/cultivars, use of nematicides, cultural practices, physical methods, etc. However, none of these methods are completely successful against Meloidogyne spp. Keeping in view the commercial value of the crops, and economic importance of this nematode, the present chapter elaborates updated information on application of novel biological and biotechnological tools for managing root–knot in ornamental and vegetable crops.
