Abstracts |
This paper focuses on the geographical distribution and pathogenicity of the major nematode species that infect olive trees, along with the symptoms, epidemiology, and management of the diseases they cause. The complex interactions that occur between some nematodes and Verticillium wilt of olive caused by the soilborne fungus Verticillium dahliae is addressed. Effective measures for nematode management (including exclusion, chemical control, soil solarization, use of organic amendments, arbuscular mycorrhizae and host plant resistance) in olive nurseries are proposed, which are of paramount importance for the production of nematode-free olive planting stock. |
