Options:
Meloidogyne spp.
Heterodera avenae
Anguina
Rotylenchulus
✅Explanation:
Crop rotation is an effective method of controlling Meloidogyne spp. (root-knot nematodes) because these nematodes are typically host-specific, meaning that different species of Meloidogyne attack specific crops. By rotating crops that are not susceptible to these nematodes, you can reduce their population in the soil. For example, rotating root-knot nematode-prone crops like tomatoes or potatoes with non-host crops such as corn or cereals helps to break the nematode's lifecycle and reduce their numbers in the soil.
