South African Plant-Parasitic Nematode Survey (SAPPNS)
Nematology Unit of the ARC- PPRI Biosytematics Division founded the South African Plant-Parasitic Nematode Survey (SAPPNS) in 1987. The aim is to make a comprehensive assessment of the nematode biodiversity resources of South Africa.
The main objectives of the SAPPNS are:
to make an inventory of all the plant-parasitic nematodes of South Africa
to study the biogeography of these plant-parasitic nematodes
to establish an electronic database of these plant-parasitic nematodes at the NCN and
to compile distribution maps of each economically important plant-parasitic nematode species.
Distribution of Paratrichodorus spp. Distribution of Trichodorus spp.
