The use of entomopathogenic nematodes can be included in pest management strategies due to their biocontrol potential. Additionally, bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes possess biocontrol potential against plant-parasitic nematodes. Beneficial Nematodes and Nematode Antagonistic Bioagents is divided into two sections. The first section (chapters 1-16) covers the isolation, identification, molecular characterization, mass multiplication, formulation, and shelf life of bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes. The second section (chapters 17-24) focuses on the isolation, identification, mass culturing of insect hosts, mass multiplication, formulation, and field potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against economically significant insect pests.

The book presents pedagogical reviews of important topics on high energy physics to the students and researchers in particle physics. The book also discusses topics on the Quark–Gluon plasma, thermal field theory, perturbative quantum chromodynamics, anomalies and cosmology. Students of particle physics need to be well-equipped with basic understanding of many concepts underlying the standard models of particle physics and cosmology. This is particularly true today when experimental results from colliders, such as large hadron collider (LHC) and relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC), as well as inferences from cosmological observations, are expected to further expand our understanding of particle physics at high energies. This volume is the second in the Surveys in Theoretical High Energy Physics Series (SThEP). Topics covered in this book are based on lectures delivered at the SERC Schools in Theoretical High Energy Physics at the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, andthe University of Hyderabad.
