The effect of different pH levels on the development and morphometrics of corn cyst nematode, Heterodera zeae was studied. The results revealed that the plant growth characters were observed maximum at pH 9.0 whereas maximum nematode population was observed at neutral pH level 7.0. The morphometric characters of the nematode were significantly decreased at pH 9.0 and 5.0 as compared to neutral pH 7.0
