About 90% of nematodes reside in the top 15 cm (6") of soil. Nematodes do not decompose organic matter, but, instead, are parasitic and free-living organisms that feed on living material. Nematodes can effectively regulate bacterial population and community composition—they may eat up to 5,000 bacteria per minute.
Feeding types of plant-parasitic nematodes. This article is an attempt to list all agricultural pest nematodes. Species are sorted in alphabetical order of Latin name. A
Nematodes (Nematoda or roundworms) are a phylum of animals. The phylum is subdivided in 3 classes : Chromadorea, Enoplea and Secernentea. The phylum is subdivided in 3 classes : Chromadorea, Enoplea and Secernentea.
Kuhn [18] (1874) is thought to be the first to use soil fumigation to control nematodes, applying carbon disulfide treatments in sugar beet fields in Germany. In Europe from 1870 to 1910, nematological research focused heavily on controlling the sugar beet nematode as sugar beet production became an important economy during this time in the Old World.
Enoplea (enopleans) is a class, which with the classes Secernentea [1] and Chromadorea make up the phylum Nematoda in current taxonomy. [2] [3] [4] The Enoplea are considered to be a more ancestral group than the Chromadorea, and researchers have referred to its members as the "ancestrally diverged nematodes", compared to the "more recently diverged nematodes" of Chromadorea.
Trichodorus is a genus of terrestrial root feeding (stubby-root) nematodes in the Trichodoridae family (trichorids), being one of five genera. [2] They are economically important plant parasites and virus vectors.
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.
