Abstract

Ten genera and 19 species of plant parasitic and 46 genera and 74 species of free-living nematodes were found in 13 samples collected from the rhizospheres of six different plant species: Theobroma grandiflora, T. bicolor, Erythrina glauca, Momordica charantia and Psidium guajava. The most common plant parasitic species encountred in the samples was Helicotylenchus dihystera.
