Oilseed Cake for Nematode Management 1st Edition

Oilseed Cake for Nematode Management — 1st Edition by Faheem Ahmad

Discover a timely, practical guide that transforms agricultural waste into an effective tool against plant-parasitic nematodes. This concise, research-informed manual explains how oilseed cakes — an affordable, locally available byproduct — can be used within sustainable nematode management programs across India, South Asia and other tropical–subtropical farming regions.

Start with clear explanations of nematode biology and the mechanisms by which oilseed cake suppresses populations. You’ll find actionable, field-oriented guidance on selection, preparation and application methods tailored to vegetables, cereals and horticultural crops. Packed with real-world insights, the book bridges laboratory findings and on-farm practice to help agronomists, extension agents, researchers and progressive farmers implement eco-friendly pest control that complements integrated pest management (IPM).

Why this book matters: it offers cost-effective alternatives to chemical nematicides, supports soil health, and promotes circular agriculture by valorizing oilseed residues. The writing is accessible yet authoritative, making complex concepts usable for both practitioners and students.

Whether you’re seeking to reduce input costs, meet sustainable certification standards, or improve crop resilience, Faheem Ahmad’s 1st Edition provides the tools and confidence to adopt oilseed cake strategies responsibly and effectively.
