Cucurbits are grown as warm season crops and have multiple uses. These crops are damaged by many plant parasitic nematodes. The information on nematodes associated, yield loss, pathogenicity and control is very limited. Use of chemicals cannot be advocated due to safety issues. Hence other methods viz. biological, organic amendments and resistant cultivars should be adopted. The information so for generated are presented briefly in this review.
