A random survey of the mandarin growing areas of Assam was conducted to assess the nematode community structure. Soil and root samples, representing 249 locations were examined. Five important genera of plant-parasitic nematodes namely Tylenchulus semipenetrans, Pratylenchus spp., Hoplolaimus spp., Helicotylenchus spp., Criconemoides spp were widespread. The relative frequency, relative density and prominence value of Tylenchulus semipenetrans was 13.15%, 6.25 and 40.50 respectively.
