Reflecting the production pattern of Hatay province, 104 soil samples were taken in surveys conducted in vineyard, pepper, wheat, tomato, corn, cotton, stone fruit and olive areas. Motile nematodes in the soil samples were isolated by the modified Baermann method. The isolated nematodes were fixed in glycerin and 11 species of plant parasitic nematodes belonging to 3 orders, 10 families and 11 genera were identified. Aphelenchoides sp. and Aphelenchus avenae from the order Aphelenchida; Ditylenchus sp., Heterodera latipons, Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica, Merlinius brevidens, M. microdorus, Paratylenchus sp., Pratylenchus neglectus, P. thornei, Rotylenchulus macrosomus and Tylenchulus semipenetrans from the order Tylenchida; Xiphinema pachtaicum from the order Dorylaimida were identified.}, number={2}, publisher={Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi}, organization={Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Coordinatorship of Scientific Research Projects}
