- 1. Nematology is the scientific study of nematodes, also known as roundworms. These are a diverse group of organisms that can be found in almost every environment, from soil to freshwater and marine habitats. Nematodes play important roles in various ecosystems, serving as decomposers, parasites, and predators. In agriculture, nematodes can be both beneficial and detrimental, with some species helping to control pest populations while others causing damage to crops. Nematologists study the biology, ecology, and behavior of nematodes, as well as develop methods to manage their populations and reduce their impact on crops and other organisms.
