| Abstract: |
Nematodes can be used as bio-indicators of soil health because they are ubiquitous and have diverse feeding behaviors. A handful of soil contains 50 different species of nematodes and millions of individual can occupy in 1 sq.m, The nematodes residing in soil that do not feed on higher plants some feed on fungi or bacteria; others are carnivorous or omnivorous. It is common belief that nematodes are pathogenic but most nematodes are non-pathogenic and a rich source of organic carbon in marine, freshwater and terrestrial agricultural practices; they eN hanced microbial activity in soil and play a pivotal role in decomposition of soil organic matter, mineralization of plant nutrients and nutrient cycle Bacterial feeding nematodes have a higher carbon: nitrogen (C: N) ratio and while preying bacteria they take N proportion excessively high than their body structure………………………. |
