Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life of the root-knot nematode, a common microscopic worm. It is an obligate parasite, meaning it can only survive and reproduce by infecting and feeding off of a suitable plant host. The root-knot nematode causes damage to over 2,000 different plant species, resulting in significant economic losses in a wide array of agricultural crops. The book presents methods for combating crop infestation, including artificial culturing, chemical control, crop rotation, and resistant plant varieties. Finally, it includes a survey of possible avenues for future research.
