This study focuses on the MM 106 layering bed, a rootstock for pome fruit trees, located in the Oued Mliz region, Jendouba Governorate, Tunisia. This layering bed is infested with migratory endoparasitic nematodes of the genus Pratylenchus. These nematodes are widespread in Tunisia and particularly in the governorate in question due to their polyphagous nature. To determine the causes of the infestation in the cuttings bed, a survey of neighboring plots (BA 29 rootstock, fruit tree nursery, and cereal fields) was conducted. Nematological analysis of the collected samples revealed significant variability attributable to biotic and abiotic conditions. Morphological identification of the nematodes isolated from the various crops revealed the presence of three Pratylenchus species: P. vulnus, P. neglectus, and P. pratensis. The MM 106 rootstock is infested by P. vulnus at a high rate.
