Factors influencing the nematode community during composting and nematode-based criteria for compost maturity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Pilot studies indicate that shifts in the nematode species composition, life strategies and feeding behavior during composting appear to be fairly consistent and, therefore, promising as a potential tool to assess compost maturity. However, this has been

Integrated management of banana nematodes: Lessons from a case study in the French West Indies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Plant-parasitic nematodes are tiny worms that live in soils and roots; in the case of banana plants, they spend most of their life cycle in root and corm tissues. Their proliferation mainly disrupts nutrient and water uptake, delays growth, and may cause

Local adaptation of aboveground herbivores towards plant phenotypes induced by soil biota [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Soil biota may trigger strong physiological responses in plants and consequently induce distinct phenotypes. Plant phenotype, in turn, has a strong impact on herbivore performance.
