Predatory nematodes as bio-control agent against plant-parasitic nematode-A review

ABSTRACT

Nematodes are highly diversified and most abundant metazoans present in soil. Phytophagous nematodes attack plants cause enormous losses.The predaceous nematodes play a significant role in regulating the population of plant- parasitic nematodes. Based on type of feeding apparatus and mode of feeding, predatory nematode are classified into different taxonomic categories. This review has made an attempt to evaluate the bio-efficacy of predaceous nematodes and their future prospects.
