Plant Parasitic Nematodes in Subtropical and Tropical Agriculture
CABI Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-78639-124-7 (ISBN)
Covering all aspects of practical plant nematology in subtropical and tropical agriculture, the third edition of this definitive global reference work is fully revised and in full colour throughout. It covers the presence, distribution, symptomology and management of all economically important plant parasitic nematodes damaging the world's major food and cash crops. This includes: rice, cereals, solanum and sweet potatoes (and other root and tuber crops), food legumes, vegetables, peanut, citrus, fruit tree crops, coconut and other palms, coffee, cocoa, tea, bananas, sugarcane, tobacco, pineapple, cotton, other tropical fibres, spices and medicinal plants. New content for this edition includes: - A chapter on nematode soil biodiversity and soil health. - Reflections on the future impact of nematodes and nematology on food security. - The importance of climate change, emerging threats, and new management technologies for large and small subsistence growers. - Significant revisions to the IPM chapter and chapters on vegetables, citrus, legumes, tuber crops, cotton, peanut and banana where major advances in nematode management have occurred. This book is highly illustrated, with up-to-date practical guidance on methods of extraction, processing and diagnosing of different plant and soil nematodes and on integrated pest management. It remains an invaluable resource for those studying and working in the area of crop protection.
Richard A. Sikora is a University of Bonn, Professor emeritus, who has published numerous books in nematology and plant protection. He has worked in nematology for 53 years as a teacher and researcher and has over 300 peer reviewed publications. He has trained numerous PhD and MS students in practical nematology, many from the tropics and subtropics. During his career he focused on integrated nematode management and alternative tools for control e.g. biocontrol, remote sensing and resistance management. is a farmer's son who qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1966 at Bristol University. He spent eight years working in Kenya before returning to the UK. He has been a general practitioner in Norfolk ever since. He is a passionate traveller and has taught and worked with equine practitioners throughout the world. He has completed a doctorate on an investigation of the difficulties faced by practitioner researchers in publication. He is a regular writer in veterinary journals and other publications. He has a son studying economics at Bristol University and a daughter studying veterinary medicine at Cambridge University. David Hunt gained his B.Sc. at the University of Nottingham, UK, and his Ph.D. degree at the University of Reading, UK. From 1975 to 1979 he worked as a field nematologist in the West Indies and has travelled widely in the Caribbean region and in eastern and southern Africa. From 1979 until retiring in 2010 he worked in the UK as a nematode biosystematist for CABI, first at the International Institute of Parasitology and then at CABI Bioscience, where he is now an Emeritus Fellow. David has taught many international courses in nematode identification, these being mainly based in the UK, but also in Africa and Central America. During 2002-2022 he was joint Editor-in-Chief of the journal Nematology and joint Series Editor of the multi-volume series Nematology Monographs and Perspectives (Brill). He has published over 100 new nematode taxa, working mainly with parasites of diplopods and insects, contributed numerous chapters to a broad spectrum of books, authored the book Aphelenchida, Longidoridae and Trichodoridae: their systematics and bionomics and, with Khuong Nguyen, co-edited the monographs Entomopathogenic nematodes: systematics, phylogeny and bacterial symbionts and Advances in entomopathogenic nematode taxonomy and phylogeny. Rosa H. Manzanilla-López (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8727-106X) completed her Bachelor's Degree (Biology) and M.Sc. at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and her Ph.D. at the University of Reading, UK. In Mexico, she worked in as an associate and research professor in higher education and postgraduate institutions. In the UK, she was a Research Scientist at Rothamsted Research ltd. (2001-2014) and Consultant for CABI, Switzerland (2014-2021). She is a Visiting Professor at the Center for the Development of Biotic Products of the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico (CEPROBI-IPN) and collaborates with the Agricultural Nematology Laboratory of the National School of Biological Sciences (ENCB-IPN). Rosa has participated in research and international projects for the control of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne, Nacobbus) and cyst-forming nematodes (Globodera, Heterodera), the plant-nematode interaction in Lotus japonicus, the biological control of phytopathogenic nematodes with Pasteuria penetrans and Pochonia chlamydosporia, and was part of the external advisory board of the project 'Microbial Uptakes for Sustainable Management of Major Banana Pests and Diseases' MUSA2020 of the European Union (2017-2022). Sara Sanchez Moreno has a Degree in Biology and PhD in soil nematode ecology. She started studying soil nematodes as a PhD student, when she worked on the effects of heavy metals on the soil nematode community. She completed a post-doc in the Department of Nematology at the University of California - Davis, where she worked in the soil ecology of agricultural systems, and specialized in the assessment of soil health. She has been a tenure scientist at the National Institute of Agricultural and Food Research and Technology and now develops her research on natural and agricultural systems at the Spanish National Museum of Natural Sciences.
