Authors

  • N. A. Minton

Abstract

Literature reporting the development of conservation tillage and the research that has been conducted on nematode control in crops grown in conservation tillage systems is reviewed. Effects of different types of conservation tillage on population densities of various nematode species in monocropping and multicropping systems, effects of tillage on nematode distribution in the soil profile, effects of conservation tillage on nematode control, and the role of nematology in conservation tillage research are discussed. Key words: conservation tillage, conventional tillage, monocropping, multicropping, nematicide, nematode distribution, nematode population density, no-till, tillage.
