These are discussed in brief here:
Chemical Control:
Fumigants:
Non-Fumigant Chemicals:
Cultural Practices:
They result in partial or complete control of nematodes and include:
Crop Rotation of Non-Host Plants:
Physical Methods:
Biological Control:

Content: Johnson and Godfrey (1932) reported excellent control of root knot nematode in pine apple soils. This chemical is now widely recognized for its nematicidal, fungicidal and herbicidal properties. Chloropicrin has a fairly high vapour pressure and it is most effective when it is confined to the soil by covering the soil with covers, such as traps that are impervious to it. Due to its high cost, its use has been limited in the control of nematodes. ADVERTISEMENTS: 2. Methyl Bromide: Methyl bromide has been exported to be an effective nematocide. The chemical has been used restrictively as a nematocide except for special crops of high value. Methyl bromide has a high vapour pressure and a low boiling point.
