The book is intended to serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of agriculture and postgraduates specializing in Nematology, Plant Pathology, and Agricultural Entomology. It covers all aspects of Plant Nematology, including an introduction that covers the importance of nematodes in Agriculture and Horticulture, as well as the estimated loss due to nematode damage. The book provides a brief historical account of the developments in India and abroad, as well as a detailed examination of nematode morphology and taxonomy, with vivid diagrams. The book also covers nematological techniques in detail and provides a comprehensive examination of the anatomy and physiology of plant-parasitic nematodes, including the digestive, reproductive, excretory, and nervous systems.

The book also includes a chapter on nematode classification based on their feeding habits and interactions with microorganisms, such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses. The book also provides a detailed examination of nematode management in important agricultural and horticultural crops, including photographs of root and foliar symptoms. The book also provides an exclusive chapter on all the methods of management including regulatory, physical, chemical, cultural, biological, and host plant resistance. The book also includes a brief account of entomopathogenic nematodes and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, which is used as a biological model in most biological research today. The book also includes appropriate examples, schematic diagrams, pictorial keys, and a glossary to describe nematode taxonomy, biology, and life cycle.

This revised edition includes all the latest information and is updated with appropriate pictures.
