Symptomatological studies were carried out in two tomato growing areas in Daloa to estimate and identify the associated nematode populations. Symptoms were assessed by visual observation. The soil and root nematodes were extracted by Bermann's method and identified by observing morphological characteristics. The symptomatological study showed the presence of symptoms of plants wilting, yellowing of the leaves as well as galls on the nematodes characteristic roots. The results also highlighted diversity within the nematode population that colonizes tomato in Daloa with four genera of nematodes. The genera Tylenchus, Helicotylenchus, Partylenchus and Meloidogyne were identified. The presence of the genus Meloidogyne in all plots shows that it is responsible for the yellowing symptoms associated with root galls. These nematodes are known for their action on the formation of galls on the roots of the tomato.
