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
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.
Helicotylenchus is a genus of nematodes in the family Hoplolaimidae. [1] They are known generally as spiral nematodes. [2] They are found worldwide because they can live and survive in a wide range of habitats. [3] They are among the most common parasitic nematodes of plants; found in corn, bananas, grass, soybeans.

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.
During growth, soil amendments and maintenance are very important. Adding manure, compost, and organic matter improves soil quality to again increase microbial competition as well as allow the plants to grow stronger and be able to withstand nematode infestation. Controlling weeds can prevent additional hosts.
Radopholus similis is a species of nematode known commonly as the burrowing nematode. [1] It is a parasite of plants, and it is a pest of many agricultural crops. It is an especially important pest of bananas , and it can be found on coconut , avocado , coffee , sugarcane , other grasses , and ornamentals .
Female development is highly temperature dependent with development being minimal at 75 °F and steadily increasing in rate from 80 °F to 97 °F. The optimal developmental temperature is ≥ 97 °F, which is considered high for cyst nematodes. In the greenhouse females will produce around 150 eggs when developing on corn. [11]
