Perilla plant is a special crop that is used as oilseed and food in Korea. Root lesion nematodes have caused great damage to perilla plants, so for effective management of root lesion nematodes, it is necessary to understand their ecology in perilla. In this study, we investigated the effect of temperature in the development of Pratylenchus penetrans (Pp) and Pratylenchus vulnus (Pv) when the nematodes infected the perilla plant. To estimate the effect of temperature, we assessed the reproduction factor (RF); final population/initial population(Pf/Pi) of these two nematode species. We used perilla plants as inoculated hosts and investigated the density of nematodes at 10 weeks after inoculation. As a result, the RF of Pp was highest at 20℃ (0.41 (1st test), 2.2 (2nd test)) followed by 25, 30, and 15℃. The RF of Pv was highest at 30℃(9.84 (1st test), 31.39 (2nd test)), followed by 25, 20, and 15℃. Comparing the RF by temperature between Pp and Pv, Pv was higher than Pp at all temperatures used in the test. This study showed the optimal development temperature of Pp was 20-25℃ and Pv was 30℃, respectively.

Survey on potato parasitic nematodes has been undertaken in order to find distribution of the nemic fauna. 41 soil samples were taken from potato fields in Gyeongbug, Gyeongnam and Gangweon provinces. Twenty four species belonging to 16 different genera were identified. Potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis was not found in the areas. Potato-rot nematode, Ditylenchus destructor and stem nematode, Ditylenchus dipsaci were found from several potato fields and population density high and showed damage to the crops. Root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus minyus, Pratylenchus penetrans, Pratytenchus thornei and Pratylenchus vulnus were found and their population of these four species were high depending on the fields. Root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla and Meloidogyne incognita were found. M. hapla was found only in Gangweon province and the population density was high. M. incognita was found at Milyang in Gyeongnam province. Spiral nematode, Heticotylenchus digonichus, Helicotylenchus dihystera, Helicotylenchus pseudorobustus, Rotylenchus orientalis and Rotylenchus pini were found. Aphelenchoides saprophilus, Criconemoides informis, Ditylenchus destructor, D. dipsaci, Helicotylenchus digonichus, H. dihystera, Hemicriconemoides intermedius, Meloidogyne hapla, Psilenchus hilarulus, Pratylenchus minyus, and Xiphinema americanum were first found from potato fields in Korea.

To survey the incidence of plant-parasitic nematode in strawberry nursery, 117 soil samples were collected from main producing area of strawberry nursery plants in 2016. The incidences of two major problematic nematodes such as root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus spp.) and root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) were 11% and 3%, respectively. Strawberry nurseries using upland soil either in fields or in plastic-houses showed were higher infection rates of Pratylenchus spp. or Meloidogyne spp. than others. On the other hand, a strawberry nursery using pots filled with bed soil in plastic-house was the lowest infection rate with 0%. Phylogenetic relationships and distance analysis were performed for identification of Pratylenchus spp. and Meloidogyne spp. detected from strawberry nurseries. As the results, they were identified as Pratylenchus penetrans, Pratylenchus vulnus and Meloidogyne hapla. Meanwhile, when nursery plants of strawberry infested with P. vulnus transplanted to pots filled with sterilized soil, P. vulnus was detected from soil in pots as 33% frequency. Thus, P. vulnus can be spread through nursery plants of strawberry infested with that. These studies suggested that Pratylenchus spp. and Meloidogyne spp. were ploblematic nematodes in major areas of strawberry nursery plants and P. vulnus could be spread through nursery plants of strawberry.

A study was conducted to survey the fauna and the field density ofp lant parastic nematodes on important cash crops in Korea. Studies were carried out with sampling about five hundred grams of soil around roots of eighteen different kinds of crops from fifty five locations throughout the country. Nematodes were elutriated from over three thousand soil samples, and identified into sixteen different genera. Among them Ditylenchus species were found to be the most abundant in fields of garlic and onion, Helicoty-lenchus of sesame, chinese cabbage and mulberry, Meloidogyne of red-pepper, tomato, cucumber and peanut, Pratylenchus of mulberry and peach, Pratylenchus of apple, Chinese cabbage and radish, Trichodorus of potato, and Xiphinema of peach and potato. Field density of Meloidogyne species was increased with the longer continuous cultivation of red-pepper in the same field.

A survey was conducted during February-March 2003 to determine the occurrence and population density of plant-parasitic nematodes in strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) fields, cultivated under plastic houses in major strawberry growing regions of Gyeongbuk and Chonbuk provinces, Korea. The survey revealed presence of eleven species of plant-parasitic nematodes viz., Aphelenchoides fragariae, Criconemoides morgensis, Ditylenchus dipsaci, Helicotylenchus dihystera, Hirschmanniella imamuri, Meloidogyne arenaria, M. incognita, Pratylenchus penetrans, Psilenchus hilarulus, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni and Xiphinema sp. Frequency and density of each species were highly variable from field to field and within the field. Plant growth was not uniform in the surveyed fields under plastic houses; stunted growth, chlorotic leaves, small curled or crinkled leaves, deformed buds and flowers and wilted plants with fewer fruits were observed in patches.

A survey was conducted to find out the major plant parasitic nematode in Chrysanthemum morifolium fields in Korea from May to June in 2005. A genus of Pratylenchus was determined as the most important plant parasitic nematode based on analysis of total 50 samples from 8 cities of chrysanthemum field. Pratylenchus showed 86% occurrence rate and average numbered 1,095 per 200cc soils and 1g root. Five Pratylenchus isolates, 'Muan', 'Masan', 'Tean', 'Gumi', 'Jeongup', were selected for the molecular identification of the species of Pratylenchus, and ITS and D3-28S ribosomal DNA were amplified by PCR. For the ITS, only 'Muan' isolate was differentiated by total 1 kb PCR amplification, which was 200 bp larger than all the other isolates. There was no size variation in amplified D3-28S rDNA and all isolate represented approximately 320 bp of PCR product. Sequence data of D3-28S rDNA were analysed by MegAlign program in DNASTAR software and phylogenetic tree was constructed. Sequence homology was 100% between 'Gumi' isolate and 'Tean' isolate and 'Jeongup' isolate was also close to these isolates by 99.7% sequence homology. 'Gumi', 'Tean' group and 'Jeongup' isolate were determined to be closely related to Pratylenchus vulnus by 96.7% and 96.3% similarity in respectively. D3 sequence of 'Masan' isolate was 100% identical to P. penetrans, and 'Muan' isolate showed 99.7% similarity to P. brachyurus. This result was congruent with the branch divergence pattern shown in phylogenetic tree.

Nematode-trapping fungi develop trap and consume nematodes are an important part of the subsoil ecosystem and they share a special predator-prey relationship. Four nematode-trapping species, there with adhesive network, Arthrobotrys oligospora, A. sinensis, A. thaumasia and one with constricting ring, Drechslerella brochopaga were collected from soils in Korea and tested their predacity against 12 different nematode species. They were three feeding groups, plant-parasitic (Meloidogyne incognita and Pratylenchus penetrans), fungivorous (Aphelenchus avenae), bacteriovorous (Betlerius sp. and Diplogasteritus sp. in diplogasterid, Panagrolaimus labiatus, P. multidentatus in panagrolaimid, Mesorhabditis irregularis, Pelodera strongyloides and Rhabditis sp., in rhabditid, and Acrobeloides sp. in cephalobid). Results showed that nematode-trapping fungi successfully captured most of nematodes in Petri dish in the group of plant-parasitic nematodes and rhabditids, moderately and variably in other nematodes in 15 days. But it didn't captured A. avenae and Acrobeloides sp. both belongs to c-p group 2. Numbers of Acrobeloides sp. and A. avenae even increased during the test period. The results of this study indicated that nematode-trapping fungi may have specificity among nematode species.

To investigate the incidence of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) in perilla fields in Korea, 55 soil samples were collected from open fields and plastic-film house fields and were analyzed during January 2020 to October 2020. Root-lesion nematodes (RLNs), spiral nematodes, root-knot nematodes, and stunt nematodes were detected in perilla fields, and the incidences of RLNs (39%) and spiral nematodes (55%) were higher than those of other nematodes. Among PPNs, RLNs are very important species found on economic crops. The detection frequency of RLNs was increased due to continuous crop cultivation, and the frequency of fields that cultivated only one crop continuously for over 11 years was twice higher than the frequency of fields that cultivated only one crop for less than 5 years. The PPN species diversity and density were different between leaf-perilla cultivation fields and seed-perilla cultivation fields. In phylogenetic analysis of RLNs, Pratylenchus penetrans, P. vulnus, and Pratylenchoides leiocauda were identified in perilla fields. These results suggest the RLNs should be considered for establishing nematode management strategies in perilla fields in Korea.

A survey was conducted during $April{\sim}May$ 2004 to determine the occurrence and population density of plant-parasitic nematodes in ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) growing fields, in major ginseng growing regions of Chungbuk, Chungnam, Gyeongbuk and Kyongki provinces. The survey revealed presence of eleven species of plant-parasitic nematodes namely, Criconemoides morgensis, Ditylenchus destructor, Helicotylenchus dihystera, Meloidogyne incognita, M. hapla, Paratylencgus lepidus, Pratylenchus penetrans, Psilenchus hilarulus, Trichodorus similis, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni and Xiphinema americanum. Frequency and density of each species were highly variable. M. incognita and M. hapla were the predominant species, their infestation observed in 46.3 and 39.4% fields with an average density of $78{\sim}254\;and\;76{\sim}211$ nematodes per $300\;cm^3$ soil, respectively. Whereas, T. similis and X. americanum were rarely observed; only in 2.3 and 1.8% of surveyed fields and their density was $10{\sim}17\;and\;7{\sim}10$ individuals per $300\;cm^3$ soil, respectively. They are recorded herewith for the first time from ginseng fields of Korea. In nematode-infestated fields, stunted plant growth with chlorotic leaves, and wilted plants were observed in patches.
