Abstract
Root knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne are significant pests of tomatoes, other vegetables, and more than 3000 of other plant species. Because of its polyphagous character and high potential of reproduction, these pests cause significant reduction in the yield of vegetables in greenhouses or in the field. Selection of plants in crop rotation, because of polyphagous character of these pests, is difficult and it is therefore necessary to implement an integrated crop protection from these pests, which includes other available agro-technical measures, physical measures such as solarization and thermal sterilization, application of biological preparations based on fungi, bacteria and entomopathogenic nematodes and chemical control.
