		<description><![CDATA[Introduction
Nematodes are inoculated in plants to evaluate plant-nematode relationships and to establish nematode association, nematode involvement, or the role of the nematode in the disease development. Inoculation varies depending on the experimental purpose it will serve.
The first stage in studying plant-nematode relationships is a strong evidence of the suspected nematode involvement in the disease. Observing [...]]]></description>
