Plant-parasitic nematodes wreak havoc on crops by root parasitism worldwide. An approach to combat nematode root parasitism is the application of antagonistic microbes like the rhizobacterium Bacillus firmus I-1582 which is promoted as biological control

Trait-mediated diversification in nematode predator–prey systems [PDF]
Nematodes are presumably the most numerous Metazoans in terrestrial habitats. They are represented at all trophic levels and are known to respond to nutrient limitation, prey availability, and microbial resources.

Integrated parasite management with special reference to gastro-intestinal nematodes [PDF]
Domestic animals are susceptible to a large number of parasitic diseases, which lead to severe economic losses to livestock industry. So, it is necessary to control parasitic infections in these animals. Control of these helminths is undertaken mostly by anthelmintics, but because of their widespread use there is development of resistance across the ...

Current Trends and Future Prospects in Controlling the Citrus Nematode: Tylenchulus semipenetrans
Citrus nematode (Tylenchulus semipenetrans) is one of the dominant plant-parasitic nematodes in citrus-growing regions, resulting in an average yield loss between 10 and 30%.

Biological control agents in the integrated nematode management of potato in Egypt
Background Potato represents Egypt’s largest vegetable export crop. Many plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are globally inflicting damage to potato plants. In Egypt, their economic significance considerably varies according to PPN distribution, population

Integrated control of slug damage in organic vegetable crops- OF 0158 [PDF]
Slugs are important pests of a wide range of organic vegetable crops, which are high quality products, desired by consumers. Slug problems are especially acute in comparison to conventional vegetable production because use of chemical control measures is

The effectiveness of faecal removal methods of pasture management to control the cyathostomin burden of donkeys [PDF]
Background: The level of anthelmintic resistance within some cyathostomin parasite populations has increased to the level where sole reliance on anthelmintic-based control protocols is not possible.

SCN and Corn Nematode Workshops Set for July [PDF]
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is widely considered the most damaging soybean pest in the Midwest. Effective long-term management of SCN requires thorough knowledge of SCN biology and use of field scouting, resistant soybean varieties, and nonhost crops

Editorial: Nematodes: an integrated pest management approach
Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause severe crop damage and yield losses on economically important crops worldwide. A recent report of such losses for the 40 life-sustaining crops with impressing figures for food and export recorded an average of 13.5% retardations; equalled USD 358.24 billion annually.
