Entomopathogenic nematodes have the potential to shape the populations of plants and host insects, as well as the species composition of the surrounding animal soil community. Entomopathogenic nematodes affect populations of their insect hosts by killing and consuming individuals.
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are one of the three most economically damaging genera of plant-parasitic nematodes on horticultural and field crops.Root-knot nematodes are distributed worldwide, and are obligate parasites of the roots of thousands of plant species, including monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous, herbaceous and woody plants.
Rhabditida is an order of free-living, parasitic and microbivorous nematodes living in soil. The Cephalobidae , Panagrolaimidae , Steinernematidae , and Strongyloididae seem to be closer to the Tylenchia , regardless of whether these are merged with the Rhabditia or not.

Mononchoides fortidens, of the order Diplogasterida, is a free-living predacious nematode that feeds on both nematodes and bacteria . [1] The predatory behavior of this nematode presents the opportunity to use it as a bio-control agent against other plant parasitic nematodes.
Trichodoridae (stubby-root nematodes, trichodorids) is a family of terrestrial root feeding nematodes, being one of two that constitute suborder Triplonchida. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] They are economically important plant parasites and virus vectors.
