A COMPARI SON OF EXTRACTION METHOD SOP PREE-LIVINO TERRESTRIAL NEMATO DES

Concerning total numbers os extracted nematodes, the decantation and cotton wool si iter technique and the OOSTEN BRlNK elutriator were the most essective.

DISCUSSION

Among widely used methods the BAERMANN-funnet is considered to bequic k less laborious and inexpensive MCSORLEY and WALTER l99 l); generat lyresulting in a fairly clear final suspension whicli is necessary for the counting of nematodes. MoreoVer iis water consumption is very low compared to the other techni ques. On the other hand this is a probab ly less efficient method. Presentdata indicate that in nearly original forna iis efficiency is poor, only the relative proportion os certain groups like Mononchida) can he comparabie to other tech nique s. The low value os extracted tylenchids cala be due to the flower move mentos these animais compared to sonae hacteriai feeding nematodes. In addition theoriginal conditions of the B AER MANN-funnel technique do not ei duce ne matodesto leave the mass of the soli during the extraction proces s. This may be e speciallytrue for main ly plant-Decling tylenchids, whose movement is orientaled by plantexudates to a considerable extent GREEN l9 Pl). There are severat modifications that can be used to improve the resulis obta ined by the B AER MANN-funnel technique ANDERSON and COLEM AN l9JJ. NAGY l99β. ROB INSON and HEALD l 989. SOHLENIUS l9JJ).

In the present stud y the decantation and cotton wool filier technique and the OOSTENERIN K elutriator are significantly more effective than any other extraction method tested. However, differences observed in their efficiencies arenei ther so big nor so obviolis that any of them could be recommended exclusive-ly.
