V. Theory
Unit I
Concepts and history of nematode management; crop loss estimation, ecological
and socio-economic aspects, cost-benefit ratios and pest risk analysis.
Unit II
Chemical methods- nematicides, their types, classification, mode of action,
applicators and application methods, antidotes, and economizing nematicidal use.
Unit III
Cultural practices- crop rotations and cropping sequences, fallowing, flooding, soil
solarisation, time of sowing, organic amendments of soil, bio-fumigation, antagonistic
and trap crops, sanitation, etc. Physical methods- use of heat, hot water treatment
and other methods of disinfestations of planting material.
Unit IV
Biological methods- concepts and terminology, use of predators and parasites as
biological control agents, their mass multiplication and field use; phytotherapeutic
methods – use of antagonistic plants and antinemic plant products.
Unit V
Genetic methods- plant resistance; legal methods- quarantine regulations; integrated
