Abstract:
Nematodes, the most abundant group of multi-cellular animals on earth in terms of numbers of individuals, may be the bacterial-feeders, fungal-feeders, plant parasites, predators, and omnivores. Once they enter the field, cannot be eradicated completely form the soil. Some agronomic practices can be manipulated in such a way to not only reduce the nematode damage in field but also enhance soil properties and increase the yield potential. Plant-parasitic nematodes cause major concerns in organic farming systems worldwide therefore, it is necessary to have an idea about management aspects of plant parasitic nematodes in organic farming.
