A survey to record the genera of nematodes associated with chickpea of
domestic variety, which are planting at Izra’a Research center in Dara’a
Governorate, was carried out during the period from April 2003 till June 2003.
Nematodes were extracted
, examined and identified to genus. Population
density, frequency (%), and prominence value (PV) were calculated for each
genus of 40 samples were collected from the root rhizosphere soil and from
plant roots itself. Results showed that eight genera of plant-parasitic
nematodes, and seventeen genera of other nematode groups were associated
with chikpea plants.
