The aim of this study is to identify and describe the nematodes found in the soil around the dragon fruit farmland in Banjar and Banjarbaru districts. Research was done by taking the soil at a depth of 0-20 cm near the roots of the dragon fruit. The nematode extraction was done with Whitehead & Heaming method (1965) and fixed by Seinhorst method (1962), then proceed with mounting method Seinhorst (1959). Furthermore, morphological observations consisted of the entire body from head to tail.
