Introduction

This genus contains a variety of species, some of which feed on fingi as well as plant tissues. Pathogenic species attack roots and aerial plarts of plants. The bulb and stem nematode, D. dipsaci, is a serious pest of many crops and was one of the earliest phytonematodes to be studied intensely. D. destructor is a pest of potato and D. myceliophagus affects mushrrom production. The genus Ditylenchus includes two other species of some importance. D. radicicolus induces galls on roots of grasses, including barley and rye. D. angustus causes a serious disease of rice ("ufra") in Bangledesh and Thailand.
