Integrated Management Of Root-Knot Nematodes In Mediterranean Horticultural Crops

  • Chapter
Integrated Management and Biocontrol of Vegetable and Grain Crops Nematodes

Part of the book series: Integrated Management of Plant Pests and Diseases ((IMPD,volume 2))

Abstract

Several vegetables are grown around the Mediterranean basin for fresh consumption as a basic component of the Mediterranean diet, as climate allows cropping thorough all year. A great socioeconomic and cultural diversity makes of this area a mosaic, in which large and small-scale production systems are coexisting. Meloidogyne spp. are the main plant parasitic nematodes causing yield losses mainly in protected crops due to climate and intensive croppings. M. javanica, M. incognita and M. arenaria are the most frequent species found in almost all countries. The principles of control of rootknot nematodes are changing from the use of nematicides applied to eradicate them, towards integrated nematode management, accepting the pests presence at levels that do not cause economic yield losses, according to sustainable agricultural systems. Basic information concerning biology, plant-nematode interactions, potential yield losses and value, efficacy and costs of control methods, are necessary to elaborate prediction models to support and design integrated management strategies.
