Introduction to the characterization of soil nematodes, an important soil bio indicator
Date :8th - 12th July, 2013
Location: Khon Kaen University, Thailand
Agenda of training on "Nematodes" (click here to download)
Background
Soil organisms develop close relationships with their environment and can thus provide information about the general soil functioning because of their sensitiveness to the perturbations and stresses suffered by the soils (pollution, climatic variations, physical state of the soil, etc.). Because of their abundance (> 10 per g of soil), their presence in all types of soil and their sensitivity to soil water quality (they live in the film of water that surrounds soil particles), nematodes are considered as one of the best indicator of soil perturbations.
Objective
- Demonstrate the ecological importance of soil nematodes in soil functioning.
- Learn simple methodologies to assess soil nematode abundance (extraction of nematodes from the soil matrix) and discover nematode trophic diversity (morphological observation).
- Introduce the trainee to the new molecular technics of nematode identification.
- Build a scientific network on the assessment of soil quality index in the different agrosystems studied by PPR SELTAR and LMI RICE and LUSES
