Abstract
The production of okra throughout the globe is threatened by root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica). Nematodes interact with Fusarium wilt and Rhizoctonia root rot pathogens in causing disease complexes. In this chapter, crop losses, symptoms, biology and life cycle, spread, and management using physical, cultural, chemical, biological methods, host resistance, and integrated methods for root-knot nematodes are discussed.
