Abstract
+3741 Various aspects of biological control of plant-parasitic nematodes have been reviewed a number of times (5, 9, 16, 39, 56, 75), but the numerous recent developments in this area and the impending loss of several of the most widely used nematicides for reasons of hazards to human health have prompted this examination of the status of natural enemies for control of nematode pests. It is not my intent to list or consider all organisms in this category because little information has been acquired on many of them since previous reviews. This review deals only with the most important and promising natural enemies on which there is sufficient information to make at least preliminary interpretations of their value and potential role in biological control. It also attempts to analyze recent studies, compile re ports of new organisms and, I hope, stimulate and guide future research in this important field.
