This book contains 19 chapters focusing on the role of different microorganisms, such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, mites and predatory nematodes as biological control agents of plant parasitic nematodes. The distribution, virulence, survival biology, formulation, safe application and exploitation of these biological control agents, especially fungi and bacteria, are also discussed.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
