Abstract:
A new method for nematode population quantification in which the equivalence of soil volumes based on its density is determined, has been discussed. In this method, first the soil density (d) is determined. This is multiplied by a standard measure (s) to obtain the 'ds'. Thus soil nematode population may be expressed in terms of the number per case-dependent ids'. instead of fixed volume (cc) or weight (g). This method resolves the problem caused by large differences in soil density in comparing the number of nematodes.
