Abstract : In an experiment conducted in Manipur, India, a total of 17 genera and 25 nematode species were associated with juveniles of Moloidogyne incognita [Meloidogyne incognita]. Among the plant parasitic nematodes, Helicotylenchus spp. was the most commonly associated with M. incognita in different crops, i.e. Cyperus brevifolius [Kyllinga brevifolia], Bidens biternata, Dactyloctenium aegypticum [Dactyloctenium aegyptium], Urena lobata, Curcuma longa, Atalantia malabarica, Saccharum officinarum, Fragaria indica and Punica granatum. Helicotylenchus spp. is followed by Basiria varians, Cephalenchus leptus, Imphalenchus indicus, Tylenchorhynchus elegans, Scutellonema spp., Xiphinema spp., Longidorus psidii, Ditylenchus caudatus, Pratylenchus caudatus, Hemicriconemoides mangifera, Tylenchorhynchus punensis, Psilenchus elegans, Aglenchus parvus, Coslenchus diversus, Boleodorus acutus, Basiria graminophila, Neopsilenchus sp. and Molenchus acarayensis although in varying degrees and numbers.
