Emerging strategy for eco-friendly management of black pepper root-knot nematodes

Black pepper is one of the most important industrial crops with high economic value for export. This crop planted in Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and Brazil. Vietnam largest producer exporter peppercorns. widely cultivated Central Highlands southeastern areas, about 124,500 hectares, producing amount black peppercorns at 193,300 tons per year. However, cultivation this plant has faced various pathogen diseases, including root–knot nematodes (RKNs). For years, many methods have been investigated managing disease. Especially recent number studies on screening utilization beneficial microbes their active secondary metabolites effective treatment RKNs increased also recognized as an emerging research topic. In review, we discuss emphasize significant results concerning novel strategy management root-knot nematodes, well future direction. review provides complete scientific information which may be useful further investigation sustainable crops.
