Unseen
Enemies by H. S. Gaur
This VCD (Video
Compact Disc) gives an introduction to nematodes, the diseases
that they cause, and the methods of control. Nematology
teaching, research and extension activities in India are
also covered. A brief mention is made of nematodes that
are useful as biological control agents of insects. This
film will be useful for introducing plant nematology to
farmers, the general public, students and administrators
in India as well as in other countries where similar nematode
pest problems exist.
A version in Hindi is also available entitled 'Sutra-krimi
