Abstract
Soil nematode communities have been known as one of the most potential bio-indicators for soil quality assessment. Soil quality cultivated with black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, using soil nematode communities as indicator organisms was assessed. A total of 72 soil samples were elucidated at 12 sites at two soil depths of 0-10cm and 10-20cm. There were found 51 genera of nematodes which belong to 27 families in 7 orders. They are identified and classified in the 5 primary feeding groups as plant-parasites, bacterivores, fungivores, ominivores and predators. Four plant-parasitic nematode genera were found as Meloidogyne, Ditylenchus, Discocriconemella and Rotylenchulus. The total of 18 nematode genera found to be associated with black pepper cultivation. MI, PPI indices and c-p triangles showed that soil environment was stable and not appeared much stress. Correlation analysis indicated soil nematode communities had closedly interacted with environmental factors, of which, the feeding groups had better correlation than the biological index and showed potential of soil nematode communities used as bio-indicators for the monitoring and assessment of soil environmental quality
