Abstract

Sixteen pastures in south-eastern South Australia were sampled to gauge the prevalence and diversity of root lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus) and to test the applicability of available DNA assays. Ten sites had Pratylenchus infestations, with three populations identified as P. neglectus or P. thornei by DNA and other morphotypes had affinities with P. penetrans and P. crenatus.
