Produktbeschreibung
Plant parasitic nematodes! Over 4,000 species are found all over the world. They attack and damage virtually every crop cultivated by man or plants growing naturally and can cause serious problems in home gardens and in cultivations. Most home gardeners or agriculturalists know little or nothing about them since they are not seen; they have been called "the hidden enemy", and the damage is not easy to diagnose, except by specialists. This book gives facts related to the parasitic activities of nematodes, tells how symptoms of their presence and damage can be recognized and offers recommendations for their control. It is written for the farmer and the home gardener and also for the researcher, the extension officer and the student; in fact, for any person with an interest in crop agriculture in Jamaica and in the wider Caribbean. There are 13 pages illustrating damage symptoms or control methods and tabular reference to specific damage symptoms and control recommendations for over 80 economic crops.
