Abstract

Soil and plant parasitic nematodes perform a major role in forest ecosystem. Herein a consolidated report of soil and plant parasitic nematodes (101 species and 90 genera), described and reported so far from Indian pine forests are communicated. This will be helpful to take up control and management measure of this valuable vegetation of our country.
