ABSTRACT

Research into site-specific management of plant-parasitic nematodes through use of GPS technology is in its infancy. For GPS technology to be used successfully in nematode management and other aspects of nematology, a general understanding of nematode biology, spatial distribution, and management procedures is necessary. Thus, the next few pages deal with those topics, followed by a discussion of published research and possible future directions to increase the role of GPS technology in nematology and nematode management.
