The extracted nematodes were fixed and transferred to glycerin. Baermann funnel method was used for extracting nematodes from tuber samples. In this survey 16 species belonging to 12 genera were identified based on morphological and morphometrical characters. Four species were belonged the Belonolimidae such as Amplimerlinius sikkimensis Tylenchorhynchus shivanandi, Geocenamus tartuensis Geocenamus rugosus.
