Abstract

Background: This study looks into how nematodes change over time and how often they infect different crops in and around the Bareilly district in Uttar Pradesh, India. These crops include tubers, roots, bulbous plants, and cole crops. Main Body: Nematodes, diminutive worm-like organisms, possess the potential to inflict substantial harm upon agricultural crops, resulting in yield reductions and significant economic repercussions for farmers. Grasping the extent and dynamics of nematode infestations is paramount in formulating effective management strategies. The survey will involve collecting soil and crop samples from various locations in the Bareilly district and neighboring regions. These samples will be analyzed using conventional techniques to identify and quantify nematode species. This will allow for the determination of infection rates in different crop categories. Conclusion: The findings will yield invaluable insights into nematode fauna dynamics, species diversity, and region-specific infection trends, thereby informing the development of precise control measures aimed at mitigating crop losses and fostering enhanced agricultural productivity.
