The concept of integrating compatible tactics for controlling nematodes predates that of integrated pest management (IPM). The specific concept of IPM is a relatively recent development in pest control, consisting of the development and deployment of pest-control strategies and tactics that have favourable socio-economic and environmental consequences. Theoretically, IPM is a holistic systems approach to limit pest damage to tolerable levels through a combination of tactics and techniques including parasites and predators, host resistance, cultural practices, environmental modification, and pesticides where appropriate. Much of the emphasis has been on insects, while there are still many opportunities for inclusion of nematodes. Indeed, a number of national and international IPM programmes have adopted a more interdisciplinary approach to their research and extension programmes. This publication covers the proceedings of an Expert Consultation on Plant Nematode Problems and their Control in the Near East Region, held in Karachi, Pakistan, in 1992.
