An extensive survey was undertaken to determine the diversity and abundance of endemic nematodes in the potato fields of 15 villages in Thoubal district of Manipur. The most obvious host response was shown by the root-knot nematode i,e Meloidogyne incognita in the Awang Takyenjam Leikai associated with 3 other plant parasitic nemotodes. It was followed by the Potato cyst nematode Globodera spp. in Dolaithabi and Helicotylenchus spp. in Langmeidong area.
