STUDY OF PHYTONEMATODES IN THE SOILS OF THE KHOREZM REGION

Abstract

This study examines the species diversity, spatial distribution, ecological adaptation, and agroecological impact of phytonematodes inhabiting the soils of the Khorezm region. The results indicate that soil and climatic conditions play a decisive role in shaping the structure and population dynamics of phytonematode communities. It was found that irrigation regimes, soil texture, and agricultural practices significantly influence the abundance and dominance of plant-parasitic nematodes in regional agroecosystems.
