  • Coffee is one of the most important commodities worldwide, sustaining national economies in the Americas, Africa and Asia. In many coffee-growing regions, parasitic nematodes cause yield losses which vary from 10-15% up to the complete decimation of the plantations, leading to economic and social crisis in local communities
  • An in-depth review of the scientific data generated since late nineteenth century on coffee-parasitic nematodes; historical as well as hard-to-retrieve publications are discussed throughout 17 chapters written by specialists in their subjects
  • Reviews key aspects of coffee-parasitic nematodes, such as taxonomy of coffee-parasitic Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus species, management, the interference of nematodes on coffee physiology, breeding for nematode-resistance and prospects of development of transgenic coffees
  • Contains chapters specifically dedicated to nematode problems in all major producing countries, such as Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam and Central America, among others

About this book

When I conceived this book, what I had in mind was what I did not know about coffee-parasitic nematodes (CPNs). Indeed, after reading many papers and several chapters in books, I felt far from having a comprehensive understanding of the subject. Not only would it be a daunting task to retrieve the numerous articles, reports, theses and dissertations on CPNs published since 1878, but it would also be impossible to learn, on my own, from all the enormous experience acquired by nematologists and coffee growers in so many countries. Therefore, this book is dedicated to those with restless minds, who want to know more about CPNs and their importance in coffee production worldwide. This book has been diligently written by top scientists in their areas of expertise or country, and it has been meticulously edited to guarantee precision without compromising an enjoyable read. I learned a lot from this book...I’m sure you will too. Finally, I’d like to thank Zuzana Bernhart from Springer, who believed in this project and decided to publish it; Susan Casement, who revised all chapters for grammatical correctness; and all the contributors, without whom this book would never have became a reality.
