Trade Review
"This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account" (Agro Lavoisier)
" This book... presents balanced information on various aspects of nematode interactions with other plant pathogens and root symbionts" (Review of Agriculture Entomology)
"...provides a useful reference to this subject area for pathologists and nematologists" (Nematologica)
" ...presents a thorough review of the information available in the literature...the lists of references provided after each chapter in this book are extensive and up-to-date...the book is a valuable addition as it will serve as a base-line reference for further progress in this important area of investigation" (Society of Nematologists)
"...those nematologists who are interested in elucidating the relationships that nematodes have developed with other soil organisms and the impact of these interactions on plant growth and crop management will gain much from this book" (Afro-Asian Journal of Nematology)
