Abstract
In Libya, nematode problems has been recognized as one of the threats to the agricultural production, especially vegetables. Surveys conducted by different workers have revealed that root-knot, citrus nematodes and lesion nematodes are common and cause damage to their respective host plants. The status of plant parasitic nematodes in Libya (genera, species, and host plants) and the damage they cause on some crops is recently described. Temik, Vyadate and indigenous nematicides were used for nematode control in fields severely infested with root knot, citrus and lesion nematodes, and others on tomato, potato and citrus. The use of nematicides produced marked reduction in the nematode population and significant increase in crop yield. In addition, cultural practices, organic amendments, and plant extracts also proved to be effective in nematode control. Tissue culture technique to maintain pure cultures of nematode species was used to study the life cycle and for testing varieties for nematode resistance.
