Nematodes from Soil", pages 62 to 65, contains other useful tips
for extracting nematodes from soil and examining them under the
microscope.

G. L. 1991. Plant Diseases: Their Biology and Social Impact, APS Press,
St. Paul, MN. Chapter 8, "Soil, The Rhizosphere, and Soilborne
Pathogens", pages 181-208, is a good general source of information
about the soil-plant root environment in which many plant-parasitic
nematodes live as well as information about the agricultural practices
used to control nematodes.

Websites:
1. Plant and Insect Parasitic
Nematodes Homepage
This is the main clearinghouse
for information on plant and insect parasitic nematodes
at the University of Nebraska:
http://nematode.unl.edu/
Two of the many features that
may interest you are:
“Interactive Diagnostic Key
to Plant-Parasitic, Freeliving and Predaceous Nematodes” by Allen
Szalanski
http://nematode.unl.edu/key/nemakey.htm
You can use
this key to try to identify the nematodes that you find.
“Nematodes of Konza Prairie”
http://nematode.unl.edu/konzlist.htm
This section
contains photomicrographs of and detailed information about many
different species of nematodes, including plant parasites, bacterial
feeders, fungal feeders, and predators.
2. Plant Parasitic Nematodes by
Kathy Merrifield (Oregon State University) and Ben Muir (Lewis and Clark
College)
http://ocid.nacse.org/nematodes/
This site includes information
on plant-parasitic nematodes and the diseases they cause on important
crops in Oregon, an easy-to-use key for identifying plant-parasitic
nematodes, some excellent photomicrographs of free-living nematodes, as
well as the Nematode Songbook.
