The phytonematodes used to cause severe losses in the field crops. Its average limit was scaled up to 12.3% on world production basis. Since last 50 years, the use of chemicals (Nematicides) was considered to be a promising strategy of nematode management. But due to its marked disadvantags like prohibitive cost, pollution hazards and unsafety for the human life, the use of eco-friendly management of phytonematodes was considered to be a potential, economic and safer strategic way of phytonematodes management.
