    D Trichodorus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cyst nematodes (Heterodera and Globodera spp.) are the most economically important types of parasitic nematodes due to their constant endoparasite nutrition, damage to vascular tissues, specialized parasitism mechanisms in the host plant and a high number of eggs per female. They appear on the roots of the host plant.
