Nematode Diseases of Crops and Their Sustainable Management

Dr. Mujeebur Rahman Khan, Professor, Department of Plant Protection, Aligarh Muslim University is presently also Dean, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences. He obtained Ph.D. Botany (Plant Pathology & Nematology) with Post Doc work at North Carolina State University, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and at the Commonwealth Institute of Parasitology, London. He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences and has served the Indian Phytopathological Society as a Zonal President. He has over 350 research publications on plant pathology/ Nematology and has authored and edited multiple books on Nematology and disease management in agricultural crops. He has presented at over 50 national and international conferences. His research focuses are chemical control, biological control and integrated management of plant diseases; effect of environmental contamination and climatic change on disease development; industrial waste utilization in crop protection; and green synthesis of nanoparticles and their application in plant protection. Dr. Marisol Quintanilla is an Applied Nematologist at Michigan State University. Marisol grew up in a family farm in Chile and received her master’s and doctoral degrees at MSU.
