About this book

Nematode interactions are important biological phenomena and of great significance in agriculture. It is a fascinating subject which is multidisciplinary by nature, and concerns any scientist involved with plant health. There have been marked advances in our knowledge of various aspects of the subject in the last two decades. This study area has been the subject of several reviews, but there was no exclusive text on the subject. This has stressed the need to document the information, developing a unifying theme which treated nematode interactions in a holistic manner. This book is about the inter­ action of plant-parasitic nematodes with other plant pathogens or root symbionts, the nature of their associations, their impact on the host and con­ sequential interactive effects on the involved organisms. Since nematodes are at the centre of the theme, the responsibility of understanding of other plant pathogens dealt with in this book is largely delegated to the reader. I have limited thebook content to interactions with biotic pathogens and root symbionts only, for various reasons. The book embodies 16 chapters, and attempts to present balanced infor­ mation on various aspects of nematode interactions with other plant pathogens and root symbionts. Some chapters describe general aspects of the subject. Interactions of nematodes with specific groups of organisms are addressed in the remaining chapters.

Reviews

"This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account" (Agro Lavoisier)
" This book... presents balanced information on various aspects of nematode interactions with other plant pathogens and root symbionts" (Review of Agriculture Entomology)
"...provides a useful reference to this subject area for pathologists and nematologists" (Nematologica)
" ...presents a thorough review of the information available in the literature...the lists of references provided after each chapter in this book are extensive and up-to-date...the book is a valuable addition as it will serve as a base-line reference for further progress in this important area of investigation" (Society of Nematologists)
"...those nematologists who are interested in elucidating the relationships that nematodes have developed with other soil organisms and the impact of these interactions on plant growth and crop management will gain much fromthis book" (Afro-Asian Journal of Nematology)
