Abstract
During a survey of plant nematodes in the Douglas area in the Northern Cape Province, 135 localities were sampled. The genera Pratylenchus, Helicotylenchus and
Mesocriconema were most frequently encountered, whereas Aphelenchoides, Criconema, Hemicriconemoides, Hoplolaimus, Longidorus, Meloidogyne, Meloinema, Paratrichodorus, Paratylenchus, Rotylenchulus, Rotylenchus, Scutellonema and Xiphinema were found at fewer localities. The genera Ditylenchus, Hemicycliophora and Zygotylenchus were each identified from a single locality. Various nematode-plant associations are reported in South Africa for the first time.
