Root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus spp.), the most common parasitic nematodes of plant roots, cause root lesions on many taxa of host plants in temperate regions around the world. In this study to isolate and identify plant parasitic nematodes in maize in Shandong Province, China, four fields with yellowish, stunted plants with symptoms like nutrient deficiencies were sampled in the suburb of Taian city, China. The entire root system was collected, and any nematodes were extracted from maize roots. Nematodes in 10 isolations were identified as Pratylenchus neglectus or P. scribneri based on morphological characteristics and molecular analyses. This is the first report of P. neglectus infecting maize in China.
