SUMMARY
Belonging to a group of quarantine organisms classifies potato cyst nematodes
into the most dangerous parasites whose presence in crops is high-risk and
assumes legal consequences. Knowledge of the morphology of Globodera pallida
and G. rostochiensis is important for proper diagnostics of potato nematode
diseases and it is especially important for services established by the phytosanitary
system of the Republic of Serbia, which is the first barrier of introduction
of quarantine and pest organisms. Two new populations of G. rostochiensis are
described. In spite of certain morphological overlap between them, there are morphological
characters such as stylet length and morphology, vulva-anus distance
as well as number of cuticular ridges that indicate two new records of G. rostochiensis
in Serbia.
Key words: Globodera pallida, G. rostochiensis, potato, new records, Serbia.
