Recent Advances in the Development of Environmentally Benign Treatments to Control Root-Knot Nematodes

This research reviews environmentally-friendly ways to control root-knot nematodes, which are microscopic worms that damage crop roots and cause billions in agricultural losses. The study examines natural alternatives to harmful chemical pesticides, including beneficial microorganisms, plant extracts, and soil treatments. Impacts on everyday life: • Helps farmers protect crops using safer, natural methods instead of toxic chemicals • Supports development of more sustainable agricultural practices • Contributes to safer food production with fewer chemical residues • Helps protect beneficial soil organisms and overall environmental health • Could lead to reduced food costs by preventing crop losses
