  abstract = {{BACKGROUND}: {S}ymphylids ({H}anseniella sp.) are polyphagous soilborne parasites. {T}oday, symphylid populations on pineapple are monitored by observing root symptoms and the presence of symphylids at the bottom of basal leaves. {T}he authors developed a reliable method with a bait and trap device to monitor symphylid populations in pineapple or fallow crops. {T}he spatial distribution of the symphylid populations was evaluated using the variance/mean ratios and spatial analyses based on {M}oran's and {G}eary's indices. {T}he method has been tested to monitor symphylid populations at different developmental stages of pineapple. {RESULTS}: {A}dding potato baits to the soil samples increased the trapping efficiency of symphylids when compared with 'soil only' and 'bait only' methods. {T}he handling of the samples is also facilitated by the new device. {R}esults showed that the vertical distribution of symphylids may be uniform deeply inside the soil profile under pineapple, up to 50 cm. {R}esults showed that symphylid populations are highly aggregated, showing a spot area about 4-6 m wide for their development. {CONCLUSION}: {T}he new method allows better and easier evaluation of symphylid populations. {I}t may be very useful in the evaluation of new {IPM} methods to control symphylids under pineapple.},
