Plant Parasitic Nematodes in Agriculture and Horticulture
Introduction Nematodes co-exist with plants since the time immemorial, yet they were never considered economically important as in recent years. In ancient times the unusual crop failure were generally attributed to some supernatural powers and soil sickness. But now it has been well established that the plant parasitic nematodes are one of the major limiting factors in the agriculture as well as in the horticulture throughout the world. The hidden enemy of the crops causes economic losses ranging from slight, perhaps less than 1％ to total mass. The average annual loss of agricultural crops has been estimated to be 10％ or more. Estimated annual yield losses in the worlds major crops due to plant parasitic nematodes is about 12.3％ and it is about 14％ in the developing countries.
