Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Survey was carried out during 2013 – 2014, covering Al-Jabel Al-Akhdar region in Libya. To determine the frequency and abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with wild trees Juniperus phoenicea L. A total of 68 compost soil and roots samples were collected from seventeen different locations in this region. Nematodes were extracted by sieving, Bearman funnal and root soaking, and identified to genus or species level. The results indicated that the common eight genera of plant-parasitic nematodes were identified as: Aphelenchus spp., Aphelenchiodes spp., Helicotylenchus spp., Pratylenchus spp. Paratylenchus spp., Tylenchorhynchus spp. Tylenchus spp., Xiphinema sp. The genera of Aphelenchus spp. was found in 52.49% of the soil samples. The dagger nematode species was identified as X. pachtaicum using morphology and morphometrics of adult females, and this is the first record of this species on Juniperus phoenicea.
