Abstract

Plant feeding nematodes have the propensity to individually inflict severe damage or interact with other soil microbial organisms to form a disease complex situation and significant yield losses on many crops worldwide. While the kind of injury inflicted on the plant depends on the species of nematode, severity of infestation largely depends on their population density in the soil and other inherent plant factors which govern resistance or susceptibility to the invading nematode species. Therefore, most nematode management strategies are usually employed to reduce the population density of the pest below the damage potential threshold. Except for the underdeveloped nations of sub-Saharan Africa and some parts of Asia, nematode management worldwide witnessed a drastic change within the last decade. This change is largely attributed to the increased health and environmental concerns associated with heavy reliance on chemical pesticides in pest management. Present day nematode management options have progressed from the traditional total nematode eradication from the soil using nematicides and blunt crop rotation to a broader and more complex management programmes that can ensure sustainable nematode control by bringing down and keeping nematode pest population densities at levels where they can cause minimum damage to crops. This way, growers are able to attain the maximum potential yields from their crops at a reasonable cost. This chapter discusses the available nematode management options in crops with their limitations and challenges associated with them.
