Abstract:

The survey conducted in 1983-85 in 535 fruit orchards and small fruit plantings, distributed all over the country, revealed association of82 plant parasitic nematode species of eight families with fourteen fruit crops, except strawberry, commonly grown in Poland. All species occurred in the soil in the vicinity of roots. 42 were also encountered in the roots of crops, usually seldom and in low densities in comparison with that in nearby soil. Only some species of the families Pratylenchidae,Hoplolamidae, Tylenchulidaeand Criconematidae occurred relatively abundantly in the roots of some crops. Species of the families Belonolaimidae and Trichodoridae were seldom encountered in the roots and usually in small numbers. No species of the families Longidoridae and Hemicycliophoridae were found in the roots of any fruit crops. The occurrence of the majority of recorded species, expressed either intheir frequency or population density, was significantly related to the surveyed fruit crops and soil type (mechanical composition and acidity). Most of the species preferred light sandy soils and acid or slightly acid ones. However, several species, particularly from the families Hoplolamidae and Tylenchulidae, preferred heavy soils. The paper also discusses the feeding habits of particular taxonomic groups, their harmfulness to fruit crops in temperate climates and their possible economic role in Polish fruit culture.
