Integrated nematode management and crop health: future challenges and opportunities.
, 2021 This chapter focuses on the 5 pillars and management tools available for integrated nematode management (INM), i.e. rotation, cultivar choice, soil management, targeted control and monitoring and evaluation. The management tools making up the pillar are also presented, i.e. prevention of nematode introduction, reduction of nematode population densities,
