ReviewSpatial Distribution of Nematodes to Improve their Sampling and Management Decision
Mahfouz M.M. Abd-Elgawad
Sound sampling of nematodes is basic to their related research and management. Several models of nematodes have been applied to characterize their possible spatial and temporal distribution patterns. These models can provide several advantages such as determin…
