Abstract
Tomato (Lecopersicon esculentum L) is a crop that is very important in Niger, but very little attention has been devoted to its nematode problems. The objective of this study was to identify parasitic nematodes associated with moringa tree. For this, a survey was undertaken in height important tomato producing sites of peri urban zone of Niamey. Soil and roots samples were taken from the plant’s rhizosphere at 20 to 30 cm deep. Nematological analysis of the samples Samples revealed the presence of 11 genera of plant-parasitic nematodes among which the most frequent and abundant were Root-knot nematodes belonging to the genus Meloidogyne.
