Nematodes represent one of the most hidden threats in crop production. These microscopic worms often masquerade as physiological disorders or nutrient deficiencies, which complicates timely diagnosis and leads to significant harvest losses in greenhouse environments. Understanding the biology of these pests and the ability to accurately assess the degree of crop infestation are critical skills for an agronomist, allowing for the timely implementation of biological and chemical plant protection methods, including soil fumigation and the application of specialized biological products.
This selection contains materials covering key aspects of working with nematodes: from laboratory assessment methods for potato cultivar resistance and the degree of infestation in greenhouse crops, to phytosanitary soil preparation technologies. You will find expert recommendations on protecting strawberries from aphelenchoides, methods for preventing the spread of viral infections transmitted by nematodes, and practical advice on the application of avermectins. The articles will help specialists systematize approaches to monitoring pathogens and choosing effective control strategies in the conditions of intensive vegetable production.
