Beschreibung:
This book documents and illustrates major developments in the use of nematodes for the biological control of insects and slugs. It covers the use of three main types of nematodes: entomopathogenic nematodes, entomophilic nematodes and slug-parasitic nematodes. The biology, commercial production, formulation and quality control, application technology, strategy and safety of each of these three nematode groups is discussed. The book also examines the application of nematodes in different cropping systems, and the efficacy of nematodes against specific pests. The potential of predatory nematodes to control plant-parasitic nematodes and mycophagous nematodes to control fungal pathogens is also reviewed.
PART I. NEMATODE MORPHOLOGY AND TAXONOMY; PART II. ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES; PART III. ENTOMOPHILIC NEMATODES; PART IV. SLUG-PARASITIC NEMATODES; PART V. PREDATORY NEMATODES; PART VI. FUNGAL FEEDING NEMATODES; PART VII. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS.
