Effect of Phytoparasitic Nematodes on Agricultural Yield

Abstract

Plant-parasitic nematodes are a high-priced burden in agricultural crop manufacturing. Over 4100 species of plant-parasitic nematodes have been recognized. Together, they represent an envisioned $80–$118 billion dollars annually in damage to crops. Plant-parasitic nematodes are identified as one of the finest threats to vegetation globally. The most damaging plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are taken into consideration to be the root knot nematodes (RKNs), Meloidogyne sp., which are accountable for losses in vegetable plants throughout the world and determine the common use of chemical pesticides. The major genera of phytoparasitic nematodes discovered to cause crop losses were Heterodera, Hoplolaimus, Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Rotylenchulus, and Xiphinema. In different reports, M. incognita suppression turned into observed in field soil treated with P. penetrans in contrast to untreated soil. Opportunity means of pest control consisting of the use of biological controls are great interest for crop producers.
