Abstract

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are the most widespread, have a vast host range, vascular feeder endoparasites, and, therefore, are considered the most damaging among the plant-parasitic nematodes globally. This chapter describes the systematics of the major species of Meloidogyne based on morphological, morphometrical, enzyme phenotypes, and molecular parameters. The existence of host races and cytological races in general and the occurrence of economically important Meloidogyne species in India are tabulated along with estimations on recent crop losses. A brief account of the general biology, life cycle, and host-parasite relationship of Meloidogyne sp. is included. The damage symptoms of Meloidogyne spp. on different vegetable crops is depicted through images. The management of nematode vegetable cropping systems has been dealt in detail. This includes cultural/agronomic practices, biological control through fungal and bacterial bioagents, host plant resistance, newer chemical nematicides, and their integration. A dedicated section is included on managing root-knot nematodes in protected cultivation systems. Root-knot nematode dissemination through horticultural nurseries has been highlighted, along with practical methods to check it. Lastly, some emerging problems of root-knot nematodes have been reported.
