Whitehead, A.G2015-07-072015-07-071956Whitehead, A.G. (1956). Plant-parasitic Nnematodes-important pathogens in tropical agriculture. East African Agricultural and Forestry Journal, 22, 92-96. https://doi.org/10.1080/03670074.1956.116650750012-8325https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/2620The object of this article is to draw attention to the threat of plant-parasitic nematodes, or "eelworms", to tropical agriculture. It is neither possible nor desirable to give here a detailed account of the numerous species known to cause damage to tropical crops; but the author plans to publish such a review elsewhere. It is hoped that this article will stimulate interest and lead to a wider knowledge of the diseases of East African crop plants in which eel worms playa part.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionPlant parasitic nematodesPathogensTropical regionshttps://doi.org/10.1080/03670074.1956.11665075
