| Popis: |
Root-knot nematodes are severe pests that affect a wide variety of crops. These nematodes are controlled by various types of nematicides that have hazardous effects on the environment. Hence, identification of new approaches alternate to harmful chemical nematicides could be effective in controlling root knot nematodes. Conventional control measures use soil fumigants, but they have certain limitations. Being chemical in nature and cost-effective, they pose severe economic concerns. Besides, they have a broad-spectrum range by harming nontarget species. This raised a question regarding the biosafety of sustainable environment posed by hazardous chemicals. Application of plant-derived products is an effective eco-friendly approach to mitigate the infestations caused by nematodes in different crops. |
