Analysis for Integrated Control of Plant Nematodes

Efficient management of plant-parasitic nematodes requires the carefully integrated combination of several methods. Although each method of management has limited use, together, they help in reducing the nematode populations in agricultural soils or plants. A public desire to manage plant pests in ways that do not pollute or otherwise degrade the environment has increased concomitantly with progress in research. Integrated nematode management provides a working methodology for pest management in sustainable agricultural systems.

Lifeasible provides analysis services for integrated control of plant nematodes to help our customers worldwide in plant science research. Our platform is equipped with cutting-edge facilities and professional experts to support research. Here, we provide various services according to customers' demands.

Integrated Control of Fungal and Bacterial Nematicides

• Fungal and bacterial nematicides rank high among other biocontrol agents. To maximize their benefits, such bio-nematicides can be included in integrated nematode management programs, and ways that make them complementary or superior to chemical nematode management methods were highlighted.

• Lifeasible provides various analysis services for integrated control of fungal and bacterial nematicides, such as fungal and bacterial interaction with other inputs, which include chemical pesticides, surfactants, fertilizers, mineral nutrition, and soil amendments which may interact with bio-active ingredients targeting plant nematodes.
• We help our clients analyze the mode of action of fungal and bacterial nematicides, fungi groups may be divided into nematode-trapping, endo-parasitic, egg- and female-parasitic, and toxin-producing fungi, and the nematophagous bacteria can also be broadly grouped into parasitic bacteria and non-parasitic rhizobacteria.
• We also provide available products of fungal and bacterial biocontrol agents used against plant nematodes, including the relevant information in terms of the active ingredient, product name, type of formulation, targeted nematode species, crop, and others.

Analysis of the Other Integrated Control

• Integrated nematode management is not a single method of management but rather a series of pest management evaluations, decisions, and control.
• We provide analysis services for the other integrated control, which includes biological monitoring and identification of pests, environmental monitoring, decision-making, prevention, and management. Nematode management tools include using resistant plants, using predators or pathogens, using chemicals, increasing soil organic matter, and others.
