Nematode Diseases of Crops in India

  • Chapter
Recent Advances in the Diagnosis and Management of Plant Diseases

Abstract

Nematodes belonging to the phylum Nematoda or Nemata are the most abundant multicellular animal that inhabit in almost all the environments. Nematodes can parasitize plants, animals, insects, etc. Some plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are capable of causing disease on many economically important crops grown in India and attained the status of pests for substantial reduction of crop yield. Many free-living nematodes are beneficial to maintain soil health, and a few of them (entomopathogenic) are also useful for insect–pest management. Nematodes are introduced giving their general characteristics, morphological differentiation of PPN orders (Tylenchida, Aphelenchida, Dorylaimida and Triplonchida), a simple outline classification of PPNs, types of nematode parasitism, nature of nematode problems, field diagnosis based on disease symptoms, plant–nematode interaction and nematode interactions with other pathogens. Economically important phytonematodes such as root-knot (Meloidogyne spp.), potato cyst (Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida), wheat seed gall (Anguina tritici), cereal cyst (Heterodera avenae), pigeon pea cyst (Heterodera cajani), reniform (Rotylenchulus reniformis), foliar (Aphelenchoides besseyi in tuberose, A. ritzemabosi in chrysanthemum), rice stem (Ditylenchus angustus), white tip (A. besseyi), rice root-knot (M. graminicola), rice root (Hirschmanniella spp.), rice cyst (Heterodera oryzicola), burrowing (Radopholus similis), citrus (Tylenchulus semipenetrans) and root lesion (Pratylenchus spp.) nematodes are illustrated along with their distribution, characteristic symptoms, biology and up-to-date management options available in India.
