Abstract

A well-organized management strategy is required to ensure the healthy plant growth. As a result of the increasing attention of environmentally damaging factors, in particular in the spreading of pesticides, there is need to adopt alternative methods for controlling plant-parasitic nematodes in the field. In this present short review some of the traditional approaches used to control plant parasitic nematodes are being discussed.
