Management
The most common management practice for A. besseyi is to maintain clean seed stocks. Since the nematode survives in the seed it is fairly easy to control. Seed can be chemically treated to kill nematodes or can be cleaned using a method in which the seed is initially soaked in cool water to activate the nematode and the briefly soaked in hot water to kill them. These seeds can then either be directly planted or quickly dried for storage.
