植物线虫是危害热带作物生产的一大重要植物病原。由于适宜热带气候和土壤条件，热作线虫病害具有种类丰富、繁殖世代多和群体大的特点，掌握热作线虫发生规律，控制热作线虫病害发生对保障热作顺利生产必不可少。概述了热带作物线虫病害危害情况、热带作物线虫学研究及服务三农现状，提出提升热带作物线虫学研究水平及服务三农的策略。

Strengthen the Research of Nematode diseases on Tropical Crops to Promote the Development of Tropical Agriculture

Plant parasitic nematodes are one class of the most important pathogens damaging the tropical crops. Because the soil and climate in tropical area provide nematodes the optimum conditions for survival and reproduction, the nematodes occurring on the tropical crops are characterized by rich diversity, more life cycles and large population. It is of vital importance to understand the occurrence of the local nematode diseases and to control the diseases where they are severe. Currently, in order to fully explore the benefit of the nematode research team on tropical crops production, more support and investment on research from associated research administration authorities and close collaboration with other institutes both at home and abroad are needed. For the purpose of serving the local agriculture, researchers need to investigate and master the first hand data on the occurrence of nematodes on tropical crops, train the growers with nematodes diagnose and management knowledge, develop scientific products and finally help the farmers control the nematode diseases.
