The fourth volume of the IPMD Series covers, in three Sections, emerging issues in the integrated management of main nematode parasites of fruit, tree and forest crops. The chapters provide basic data about the crops concerned, listing main nematode threats, in order to facilitate their detection and management. Special attention is given to the management strategies as experienced by farmers, nematologists and consultants, in different areas of the world, including exploitation of plant resistance sources and integrated or organic management. The first Section covers key nematode parasites of tropical fruit crops, including banana, cocoa, coffee, citrus and other tropical crops, and the related management options. In the second Section, nematode problems of grapevine and other mediterranean crops like pistachio, Prunus spp. and olive are revised. Integrated information-based reviews, divulgated for application in plant protection and nematodes management of key perennial fruit crops Basic conceptsand nowledge required to develop applied research and identification of nematode problems in the tropics, for management Review of key ecenomic plant nematodes in Mediterranean crops Actualized concepts needed for practical professional work worldwide Description of some molecular technologies (for developments in quarantine, detection) INDICE: Contributors.
