Abstract

To identify the plant-parasitic nematodes in orchards of Uremia County, 85 soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere of stone fruit trees in 2011 and 2012. The nematodes were extracted using sieves and the centrifugal-flotation method, fixed and transferred to anhydrous glycerin. After making permanent microscopic slides of the nematodes, measurements and drawings were made with a light microscope and species were identified using identification keys. As the results, 32 species from 22 genera were identified, among them two species, Amplimerlinius omentelus and Tylenchorhynchus ibericus, are new records for the nematode fauna of Iran and are reported and described for the first time.
