Supervisor: Prof. Naorem Mohilal Meitei, Department of Zoology, Manipur University

Thesis Title: “Mononchid Nematodes of Mizoram”

Research Highlights:
Mononchs, one of the predatory nematodes are used as biocontrol agents of phytophagous nematode. Soil samples are collected from different parts of Mizoram, analysed and examined. Morphotaxonomy and molecular characterization of the mononchid nematodes of Mizoram along with bio-control of phytophagous nematodes are studied.

TITLE OF THESIS: TAXONOMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE CRICONEMATID NEMATODES OF MIZORAM

Research highlight:
Criconematid nematodes is one of plant parasitic nematodes and that are main predators other than disease causing micro-organism like virus, bacteria and fungi to the plants. They cause various diseases in different varieties of plant including agricultural crops, wild plants etc. Soil samples are collected from different parts of Mizoram, analysed and examined. Morpho-taxonomical characterization and molecular characterization of the criconematid nematodes of Mizoram along with bio-control of phytophagous nematodes are studied.
