SUMMARY Pratylenchus spp. were the commonest plant‐parasitic nematodes found during a survey of fields growing barley or wheat in England and Wales. P. minyus occurred in all soil types, often together with P. thornei in heavy soil, and with P. crenatus and/or P.fallax in light soil. P. pinguicaudatus was found only in heavy soil in a field of wheat at Rothamsted Experimental Station. Drawings, descriptions and a key are given to enable the five species to be identified.
