Abstract
The market gardening sector is confronted with numerous constraints which weaken and hinder its development. Among these constraints is the importance of plant-parasitic nematodes. For the sustainable management of these worms, a diagnostic evaluation was carried out in two permanent market gardening of Sébéninkoro (Kati) and Koulikoro town in order to determine their diversity. 54 soil samples of 500 g were taken from 3 plots, ie 27 samples per site. Analysis of these samples revealed the presence of 8 genera of nematodes. Among these nematodes, there are nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne very harmful to crops and Tylenchorhynchus. They are common and abundant throughout both sites.

The results obtained from this study confirm that there is a significant diversity of parasitic nematodes on crops
Summary
In Mali, market gardening occupies a prominent place among irrigated crops for several reasons. Among these reasons is their important contribution to food security, and the increase in the monetary income of actors [1]. In Mali, revenue directly linked to this activity is estimated at CFAF 27 billion [2]. Vegetable production in Mali has increased significantly in recent years to reach a value of 1 900 173 tonnes over an area of 173 110 ha [3]. According to the same statistics in terms of production, shallot is the most important crop with 401.285 tonnes. Comes okra 254 545 tonnes and tomato 175 577 tonnes
