ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The ongoing prominence of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) as a vegetable and salad product is evident in the considerable body of studies on virtually all areas of the crop. However, various biological stressors are substantially hindering tomato productivity, presenting a major obstacle to forecasting future expectations of something like the developing world. Root-knot nematodes (RKN) are a significant threat to agricultural productivity among many biotic challenges. Beyond inflicting physical harm, it contributes as an exacerbating agent for the introduction of bacterial and fungal pathogens, compounding the situation and attributed to the creation of disease structures. Current management methods are insufficient to completely regulate RKN. Although the management of this nematode pest is primarily using chemical nematicides, however, phase out of the synthetic chemicals due to its harmful potential danger on living creatures as well as the environment, this same problem of root-knot nematodes intensified and become a significant impediment for the successful cultivation of vegetable crops in an open field as well as protected cultivation. In the present review paper, and efforts have been made to clarify the plethora of integrated approaches including genetics-based techniques for the control of root-knot nematodes in tomatoes.
