Abstract
Plant-infesting nematodes and mites are some of the biotic stresses known to cause considerable yield losses in crops of agricultural importance every year. These bio-agents during feeding plant parts synergize infection of many fungal diseases and also transmit a number of viral diseases. Therefore, management of both these pests is essential to avoid such losses. Plant products/botanical origin pesticides, considered first-generation pesticides, are still important to manage plant nematodes in many vegetable and food grain crops where use of synthetic pesticides is more hazardous to human health. This chapter deals with plant products found effective against the plant nematodes and mites, especially the higher plants, which have been arranged in alphabetical order in tabular form. The active components/active principles isolated and identified from the effective botanical formulations have also been scanned and mentioned against both the plant nematodes and phytophagous mites. Currently, many potential plant products are being used under organic agriculture globally. Of course, for pest management in the large areas, availability of large quantities of these products is a limitation. But soil amendments of the oil cakes/green leaves, interculture of these plants with main crops and crop rotations having intelligently grown the biopesticidal plants are useful strategies for the management of the plant nematodes. For the management of plant mites, no doubt, botanical pesticides have been reported to show toxicity to a number of phytophagous mites, but their applications have not been popularized yet. Thus, there is a need to explore more effective botanical miticides, their formulations and application methods.
