Abstract
SUMMARY Data on plant parasitic nematodes in 21 genera found in Ghana up to the end of 1967 are presented. The most widespread and economically important were found to be Meloidogyne spp. Radopholus similis was also found to be economically important but restricted in distribution. Other potentially important nematodes include species of Aphelenchoides, Criconemoides, Gracilacus, Helicotylenchus, Hemicriconemoides, Hemicycliophora, Hirschmanniella, Longidorus, Longidorella, Paratylenchus, Pratylenchus, Rotylenchoides, Rotylenchulus, Scutellonema, Trichodorus, Tylenchus, Tylenchulus, Tylenchorhynchus, Xiphinema and Heteroderidae larvae.
