Efficacy of Microbial Biocontrol Agents in Integration with Other Managing Methods against Phytoparasitic Nematodes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Management of Phytonematodes: Recent Advances and Future Challenges

Abstract

Biological control can be a safe alternative to detrimental chemical nematicides if its persistence and performance increase to a satisfactory level. But at present, no biocontrol agent (BCA) can provide adequate nematode control when applied alone. One approach to improve their controlling importance is to use them in integration with one or more compatible practices that enhance BCAs’ population, diversity, durability and efficacy. This goal may be achieved by combined use of BCAs with measures aiming at manipulating the soil environment in favour of BCAs, reducing nematode population and enhancing BCAs’ activity. Here a brief outline of some measures for controlling phytonematode is illustrated with extra attention to those that can be applied combinedly with biological control. Their advantages and disadvantages as well as their effects on altering biocontrol activity are demonstrated along with selected examples of each tactic. The reviewed strategies in combination with biocontrol are using host plant resistance (tolerance, resistance and induced resistance); agronomic practices (rotation, trap crops, antagonistic crops, cover crops, fallow, flooding, organic amendments and tillage); decrease in phytonematode populations (soil solarisation, biofumigation and chemical nematicides); and application more than one BCA. Finally, the future paths of integrated nematode management are designed.
