Abstract
Management of Plant-parasitic Nematodes by the Use of Botanicals
Plant-parasitic nematodes are causing great damage to agricultural and horticultural crops. Hence, biopesticides of botanical origin have become focus of attention today for facing the nematode problems in an eco-friendly manner. The use of botanical pesticides is now emerging as one of the prime means to protect crops. In India, botanical pesticides are available in many plants for which deep search and testing is required as many of them are still unexplored.
