Crop rotations and their resistance to plant-parasitic nematodes

By Matt

Crop rotations and their resistance to plant-parasitic nematodes Plant-parasitic nematodes are important pests of many crops. Since rotating nematode-resistant cover crops can play an important role in managing nematode pests, a range of potentially useful crops have been tested for resistance to root-knot nematode in Australia. As part of this work, useful crops have also…
