African Plant Protection 8 (1-2), 25-32
Abstract: During surveys of plant nematodes in the Modimolle area in the Limpopo Province, South Africa, 182 localities were sampled. The genera Scutellonema, Helicotylenchus, Mesocriconema and Paratrichodorus were most frequently encountered, whereas Criconema, Criconemoides, Hemicriconemoides, Longidorus, Meloidogyne, Ogma, Paratylenchus, Pratylenchus, Rotylenchulus, Telotylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus and Xiphinema were found at fewer localities. The genera Aphelenchoides, Histotylenchus and Paralongidorus were each identified from a single locality. Xiphinema paritaliae is herein reported as a first record for South Africa. Various nematode-plant associations are reported for the first time in South Africa.
