Split into six sections, this book collates information on the various aspects of nematode diseases of fruit crops and their management. The subject matter in this book discusses:
- International and Indian fruit crop scenario, food and nutritional security, bridging yield gap, and techniques to enhance productivity.
- Different aspects of nematode diseases in fruit crops such as economic importance, emerging nematode problems, interaction with other pathogens, and nematode management methods.
- Nematode diseases of tropical, sub-tropical, temperate, and semi-arid fruit crops and their management.
- The vision for the future including current nematode management strategies, new paradigms for nematode management, transfer of technology, future approaches, and conclusions.
This book is aimed at policy makers, practicing farmers, and scientists involved in teaching, research and extension activities related to fruit crop nematodes and their management.

P. Parvatha Reddy served as the Director of the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR) in Bangalore, India. He also held the position of Head of the Division of Entomology and Nematology at IIHR, during which time the institute was honoured with the prestigious ICAR Best Institution Award. Specializing in horticultural crops, Dr. Reddy has been involved in developing the F1 tomato hybrid Arka Varadan, which is resistant to root-knot nematodes. His work also includes research, extension, and education in bio-intensive integrated pest management strategies for horticultural crops. These effective, eco-friendly, and residue-free technologies are widely adopted by farmers across the country.
