Plant Parasitic Nematodes in Subtropical and Tropical Agriculture, 2nd Edition
Readership
Students and researchers in crop protection and plant nematology.
Key Features
• The definitive global reference work on its subject
• A book that combines theory and practice, concentrating on nematode species that lower crop yields
• Includes fully revised chapters, contributions from many new authors, and an extended number of illustrations
Main Description
This book examines all aspects of practical plant nematology in subtropical and tropical agriculture. The second edition has been fully revised and updated to take into consideration developments that have taken place since the publication of the first edition in 1990. It covers all the major food and cash crops that are of economic significance in the tropics and subtropics. It provides practical guidance on methods of extraction, processing and diagnosis of different plant and soil nematodes and on integrated pest management. The information in this book is supported by abundant illustrations, including 128 colour photographs.
Reviews
• "This is essentially a practical book that will be immensely useful to agriculturists, extension workers, teachers and students, especially those working in subtropical and tropical agriculture."
Roland N Perry, Parasitology, 131, 2005
• "Most sustainable methods of nematode management must be adapted to local conditions and this will require a very large increase in nematological expertise in many parts of the tropics. This book is a key text support that important process.
B Kerry, Tropical Agriculture Association Newsletter, December 2005
