TAXONOMIC COMPOSITION AND DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NEMATODE FAUNA OF DOG ROSE (ROSA CANINA L.)

This article examines nematodes associated with dog rose (Rosa canina L.) in Surkhandarya, Uzbekistan, with particular attention to taxonomic identification and ecological grouping. Root and rhizosphere samples are treated as distinct habitats. Morphological identification is interpreted together with ecological context. The presence of a tax on alone is not considered evidence of pathogenicity. The paper discusses diagnostic considerations and the scope of conclusions supported by descriptive sampling.
