This book presents a complete and structured resource on the diagnosis and management of plant parasitic nematodes. It brings together current technologies, practical approaches, and future oriented strategies used in nematode research and crop protection.The chapters cover a wide range of themes, including molecular tools, remote sensing methods, and other diagnostic approaches for parasitic nematodes; chemical methods such as low toxicity nematicides, precision application, and nanotechnology; biological control; genomics; proteomics; transgenic resistance; and genome editing. The book concludes with a forward looking perspective on diagnostic and management priorities.This book serves as a useful resource for researchers, postgraduate students, teachers, and extension professionals in plant nematology, plant pathology, crop protection, applied zoology, and applied botany. It also supports scientists and policy professionals who seek updated, technology based approaches for managing nematode problems in agriculture.
