Özet
Plant-parasitic nematodes are important pests causing economically high yield losses in plants cultivated worldwide. Plant-parasitic nematodes damage the host plant by causing wounds on the plant roots and some microbial diseases, forming brown spots on the root and swelling or rotting of the tubers on the above-ground parts of the plant. In agricultural areas, nematicides are often used to prevent the damage of these nematodes. However, alternative methods have been preferred in recent years because the nematicide types used are expensive and lead to adverse effects on the environment or nontarget organisms. The most important of these methods is the use of green synthesized nanoparticles from plants. Many studies have shown that these nanoparticle types are effective as nematicides in agricultural fields due to their antifungal and antibacterial properties. Among these metal is a silver nanoparticle. Silver nanoparticles are of antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. Due to these properties, they are mostly used in agricultural applications as a nanopesticide, nanofertilizer, nematicide, and fungicide. In this chapter, types of plant-parasitic nematodes, damages of plant-parasitic nematodes on host plants, management methods, use of nanotechnology and metal nanoparticles in agriculture, and silver nanoparticles as an alternative method for management with plant-parasitic nematodes are discussed. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
