Abstract

A range of phytonematodes can injure various horticultural crops, among which one or more of them occur in most soils. Although some can cause significant losses when present in low numbers, most do not cause economically significant damage unless their numbers are unusually high or the plant is also subject to unusual levels of stress caused by other factors. Careful integration of most suitable management components will help keep most nematode pests below damaging levels and may simplify the decisions that must be made about selecting and applying nematicide when they are needed.
