Can anyone help me with taxonomic identification keys of PPN and free living nematodes? I am using Smart and Nguyen's keys. How much effective this key is??
Although it is in Dutch, I would prefer Tom Bongers book "De Nematoden van Nederland" for ID of free-living nematodes. Of great help are also the 3 books of Istvan Andrassi "Free-living Nematodes of Hungary".
I got this from another post. You might find it useful.
If you are looking for some interesting handbook describing easier identification methods you may have a look at 'Practical plant nematology: A field and laboratory guide' (http://www.uark.edu/ua/onta/info/2010%20Nematodes%20Manual%20ENGLISH.pdf ).
