Abstract
Soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere of gypsophila and rose plants from greenhouses in Debrezeit and Ziway localities in Ethiopia. Among the many specimens of plant-parasitic nematodes extracted from the soil, four were identified as new records of Ethiopia, namely Mesocriconema sphaerocephaloides; Longidorus laevicapitatus; Paratylenchus obtusicaudatus, and Nanidorus minor. A comprehensive analysis of morphological and morphometrical characters is provided and species-specific variability in those characters between populations originating from different regions is discussed. Overall, this updated information will improve identification of this species in the future and also increase awareness of those species as a potential threat in cut-flower production.
