Abstract
The study was carried out to investigate plant parasitic nematodes in oil rose growing areas in Isparta province in July-August 2022. Soil samples were collected from 4 districts and the study was carried out with 65 samples. Plant parasitic nematodes were extracted by the modified Baermenn funnel technique. A total of 12 genera of plant parasitic nematodes were determined in the study. These are Tylenchus spp., Aphelenchus spp., Pratylenchus spp., Ditylenchus spp., Dorylaimus spp., Paratylenchus spp., Longidorus spp., Xiphinema spp., Meloidogyne spp., Helicotylenchus spp., Tylenchorhynchus spp., and Merlinius spp. The Pratylenchus (52.3%), Paratylenchus (38.5%), and Helicotylenchus (41.5%) seemed to be the most prevailing genera. The least common genus is Meloidogyne (7.6%). Meloidogyne species were identified molecularly by using species-specific primers from second-stage juveniles. The 5 samples taken from cultivated oil rose fields were infected and detected with Meloidogyne hapla Chitwood, 1949. Densities of M. hapla varied between 60-480/100 g soil. This is the first report of M. hapla on oil rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) in Türkiye.
