Indigenous plant parasitic nematodes associated with ornamental palms from Egypt

Abstract

Samples of 24 available ornamental palm rhizosphere were analysed from the major botanical gardens in Cairo, Egypt (Kasr-El-Manial, Orman and Zohria). The dominant nematode genera under the examined ornamental palm trees were Criconemoides, Ditylenchus, Helicotylenchus and Rotylenchulus reniformis.
