Potato Cyst Nematodes : Biology, Distribution and Control

"Synthesizing current practical knowledge and global research on potato cyst nematodes (PCN), leading nematodologists and other expert contributors address multiple aspects of the internationally recognized plant-quarantine organisms of the two closely related potato cyst nematodes: /Globodera rostochiensis/ and /Globodera pallida/. The 19 chapters comprise five sections on the biology, detection, identification, and control options (including engineering plant resistance) for PCN. Their origin in South America, where PCN co-evolved with their potato host, and worldwide distribution is mapped and discussed. Includes eight color plates and b&w illustrations of aspects of potato cultivation and PCN infestation."--SciTech Book News "Synthesizing current practical knowledge and global research on potato cyst nematodes (PCN), leading nematodologists and other expert contributors address multiple aspects of the internationally recognized plant-quarantine organisms of the two closely related potato cyst nematodes: /Globodera rostochiensis/ and /Globodera pallida/.
