The Present Volume aims to summarize and update the information on utilization of soil microbes for management of plant parasitic nematodes. This volume will include more than 16 high quality chapters dealing with paradigms and mechanisms of nematode management using soil microbes, various soil microbes and their effectiveness in management of certain nematode diseases and regional case studies/success stories and lessons learnt for nematode management in various crops across the globe.
Written for researchers, academicians, scientists, working in the field of Plant nematode management.
