Abstract
Control of nematodes has been mainly through the use of chemicals and host resistance. However, the existence of physiological races in the pathogen's population has complicated efforts to breed for resistant cultivars. Interest in developing alternative control measures that are safe and economically attractive has now intensified worldwide. The use of antagonistic plants is viewed as a viable nematode management option.
