Diagnosing plant diseases caused by nematodes

With its descriptive key and detailed drawings, this book assists readers in differentiating plant-parasitic nematodes from free-living (microbivorous) nematodes found commonly in the soil around plant roots and within symptomatic plant tissue. It features an extensive glossary of hematological and related terms, an appendix covering the five genera of nematodes and their 46 species presently implicated in transmitting plant viruses and an index which makes it possible to locate drawings of one or more representatives of a particular genus and a description of the general characteristics of the genus. Agronomy, forestry, and horticulture specialists will find this reference book helpful for improving their diagnostic skills in the field, laboratories, and plant clinics.
