Abstract
This study was done to determine the species of plant parasitic nematodes that attacked strawberries in the Bursa region (Northwestern Anatolia) of Turkey from 1998 to 2000. Soil and plant samples were harvested from approximately 5% of the strawberry fields in this region. Species of plant parasitic nematodes and population densities were determined in these samples. Fourteen species belonging to the family Aphelenchoididae order Aphelenchida and 13 species belonging to several families within the order Tylenchida were identified. The rate of occurrence of the different species and the researchers who originally described those species in Turkey are also reported. Jpn. J. Nematol. 34(2), 73-78 (2004).
