dc.description.abstractSoil samples around some fruit trees in samaru residential areas of Ahmadu Bello University were taken and analysed to find the nematodes present in them. With the aid of a modified Baerman's funnel and decantation methods, nematode fauna were extracted and analysed. A total of about 17 genera of plant parasitic, freeliving and algal feeders forms of nematodes were found present. They included plant parasitic forms Rotylenchus spp., Tylenchus spp., Tylenchorynchus spp., Hoplolaimus spp., Helicotylenchus spp., Hejucriconemoides spp., Ditylenchus spp., Telotylenchus spp., ScuteUonema spp. and Longidorus spp., the parasites of other nematodes, Mnonchus spp. and Discolaimus spp., saprophagous forms such as Diplogasteroidea spp., Drylaimus spp., Acrobeles spp., Dorylaimellus spp., and the algal feeder, Eudorylaimus spp. Helicotylenchus spp. were the most widely distributed, occurring in relatively large populations at all sample sites and around all fruit tree species sampled.en_US
