520 3 # |a This book documents and illustrates the major developments in the use of nematodes for biological control of insects and slugs. It has seven parts covering the morphology and taxonomy of all nematode groups used as biological control agents; entomopathogenic nematodes; entomophilic nematodes; slug-parasitic nematodes; predatory nematodes; fungal-feeding nematodes; and critical issues and research needs for future expansion of nematode use in biological control. Nematode biology, commercial production, formulation and quality control, application technology, strategy and safety are discussed. Separate chapters are devoted to the application of nematodes in different cropping systems and the efficacy of nematodes against specific pests such as plant parasitic nematodes and fungal pathogens.
