Abstract

Phytonematode is one of the important pathogen infecting Arabica coffee plantation. This study is aimed to identify phytonematodes associated with the declining Arabica coffee plantation in Bondowoso, East Java. Root and soil samples were taken from the symptomatic coffee plants at Belawan and Kalisat Jampit plantations. Phytonematode were extracted from root samples by mist chamber and soil samples by centrifugation flotation methods. Five phytonematodes, that are Radopholus similis, Meloidogyne sp., Paratylenchus sp., Criconemoides sp., and Helicotylenchus sp., were identified based on their morphological characters. The highest phytonematode population is R. similis with average of 260 nematodes/10 g roots.
