BIODIVERSITY OF THE FAUNISTIC COMPLEX OF THE PHYTONEMATODES OF THE EXAMINED WILD CEREAL PLANTS OF UZBEKISTAN

The article provides data on the study of the faunistic complex of phytonematodes of wild-growing cereal plants. Common methods in phytohelminthology were used to study the fauna of nematodes. As a result of research in plants and root soil of wild-growing cereals, 110 species of phytonematodes were registered. Their distribution by organs, as well as the degree of dominance of phytonematodes in the organs and root soil of the studied plants were studied. It is also argued that wild cereal plants are reserves of parasitic nematodes, and can serve as a hotbed of preservation of nematode invasion for cultivated plants.
