Twelve pineapple fields with various densities of root-knot nematode were selected during a ratoon crop. Nematode populations were monitored regularly after the crop was ploughed out. Regardless of the original population density, rootknot nematodes were almost nondetectable at the end of the subsequent 3-6-month fallow intercycle period. In the absence of nematicide treatment there were marked differences between sites in the manner in which rootknot nematodes increased in the newly planted crop. At some sites, they were detectable 9-15 months after planting, whereas at other sites, nematodes were not observed at 15 months. Increases in ratoon crop yield following application of ethylene dibromide or fenamiphos were related to root-knot nematode population density. Significant increases in yield were not obtained at sites where the nematode was not detectable at 15 months. The results suggest that some pineapple growers are needlessly applying nematicides and that nematode diagnostic services should be developed to provide growers with advice on their nematode management programs.

In the present study, the monthly population fluctuation of Pratylenchus sp. (Filipjev, 1936) is ascertain about soil temperature, moisture, pH in mulberry (Morus alba L.) field with economic importance within the sericulture. The studies target is to grasp the influence and impact of those soil abiotic factors on the population of those plant-parasitic nematodes and Correlation coefficients (r) between mean population Pratylenchus spand different soil abiotic factors in Aurangabad Mulberry garden.

Abstract This chapter focuses on the economic importance, damage symptoms, cumulative damage impact and some recommended integrated nematode management programmes of plant parasitic nematodes in smallholder maize cropping systems in East Africa. Information on the various improvements in the current nematode management methods and recommendations for future research are also discussed.
