Abstract

Comparisons of plant parasitic nematode populations using a resemblance equation and community ordination showed that community structure tends to be similar on dark-colored, highly productive soybean soils throughout Indiana and Illinois. On lighter-colored soils community structures differed somewhat from those of darker soils and from each other. Key Words: Ecology, Dendrogram, Similarity indices, Community ordination, Helicotylenchus pseudorobustus, Pratylenchus spp., Paratylenchtts projectus, Tylenchorhynchus acutus; Tylenchorhynchus martini, Xiphinema americanum.
