Description of Filenchus Species from Agroecosystem of Southern Alberta, Canada
Understanding the existing nematode biodiversity is of significant concern because nematodes may divert nutrients from plants and use them for their own development and reproduction. The presence and diagnostics of Filenchus species occurring in southern Alberta have not been addressed in previous s...

Understanding the existing nematode biodiversity is of significant concern because nematodes may divert nutrients from plants and use them for their own development and reproduction. The presence and diagnostics of Filenchus species occurring in southern Alberta have not been addressed in previous studies.
