Fourteen genera, represented by 19 species of phytoparasitic nematodes were found in association with the crop: <em>Ditylenchus, Helicotylenchus, Hoplolaimus, longidorus, Meloidogyne, Paratylenchus, Pratylenchus, Pseudhalenchus, Quinisulcius, Radopholus, Rotylenchulus, Tylenchorhynchus, Tylenchus,</em> and <em>Xiphinema</em>. <em>Meloidogyne incognita, Helicotylenchus</em> spp., <em>Radopholus similis</em>, and <em>Rotylenchulus reniformis</em> were the most widely distributed nematode species throughout the Island. On the other hand, <em>M. incognita, P. coffeae, R. similis, Helicotylenchus</em> spp. , and <em>R. reniformis</em> had higher population densities.}, number={1}, journal={The Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico}, author={Oramas, D. and Román, J.}, year={1982}, month={Jan.}, pages={52–59} }
