Abstract :
In order to identify the plant parasitic nematodes in Alborz Province, some soil and root tissues of plants samples were collected from different crops in various regions of the Province during 2017 and 2018. After transferring the samples to the laboratory, soil and root washing operations, nematode extraction, transferring and fixing in pure glycerin were performed. Permanent microscopic slides and incisions were made from different parts of the body of some species. After microscopic observations, the extracted species were identified using different keys. During the survey and morphological studies, 6 nematode species belonging to 5 genera were identified as follows: Ditylenchus triformis, Nothotylenchus affinis, Nothotylenchus medians, Helicotylenchus pseudodigonicus, Rotylenchus agnetis, Pratylenchus mediterraneus Among the identified nematodes, species Helicotylenchus pseudodigonicus, Nothotylenchus affinis, Nothotylenchchus medians and Rotylenchus agnetis were reported for the first time in Alborz province.
