Plant Parasitic Nematodes in Hawaiian Agriculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Parasitic Nematodes in Sustainable Agriculture of North America

Part of the book series: Sustainability in Plant and Crop Protection ((SUPP))

Abstract

Hawaii’s diverse and mild climate allows for the cultivation of many crops. Different crops have been introduced and cultivated with each successive wave of immigrants to the islands. Many crop plants experienced an exponential growth in hectares only to face a decline in planted area as competition and economic factors drive production elsewhere. The introduction of each crop brought along associated nematode pests. These plant parasitic nematodes became established and are now endemic to the islands.
