Potato Cyst Nematodes : Biology, Distribution and Control (CABI Publishing)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Distributed around the world, the closely related species of Potato Cyst-Nematodes (PCN), Globodera rostochiensis (Woll.) and Globodera pallida Stone are internationally recognized plant quarantine organisms and a major concern wherever potatoes are grown or traded. The nematodes occur in
large soil masses and on potato tubers as microscopic cysts, where they form a complex of morphologically identical, but behaviorally different virulence groups. This variety makes the nematodes difficult to detect, identify, and manage. This book is a synthesis of current practical knowledge and
fundamental research on PCN. It examines the biology, detection, identification, and control options (including plant resistance) for PCN. It provides essential information for professionals and advanced students of plant nematology and crop protection.
