Author: I.KEPENEKCI AND E. EVLICE Publishing Date: 2004 E-ISSN: 0255-7576 Volume 22 Issue 2 ABSTRACT: Meloidogyne root-knot nematodes are polyphagous and widely distributed producing galls on the root system on more than 3000 host plants (Sasser & Carter, 1982; Reddy, 1983). In Turkey the damages to plants caused by nematodes are serious and complex. Sandy and arid soils as found in
