  abstract = {{P}lant-parasitic nematodes affect significantly the production of susceptible plants, including olive trees. {I}n this context, nematode communities were determined in soil samples collected from 23 olive growing sites in the {H}aouz and {S}ouss regions (southern {M}orocco). {T}hese sites corresponded to various modalities: wild ({O}lea europaea {L}. ssp. sylvestris) or cropped olive ({O}lea. europaea {L}. ssp. europaea), traditional or high-density cropping, rainfed or irrigated. {E}ven free-living nematodes prevailed in most of the sites, high population levels of plant-parasitic nematodes were observed in rainfed cropping systems than in irrigated systems. {T}en nematode families and 14 genera were identified. {T}he most important plant-parasitic nematodes detected, in order decreasing frequency of infestation (percentage of samples), were spiral nematodes {H}elicotylenchus spp. (100%) and {R}otylenchus spp. (87%), lesion nematodes {P}ratylenchus spp. (100%) and root-knot nematodes {M}eloidogyne spp. (40%). {M}ost of the nematode species were assigned to more or less colonizer nematodes, whereas only one family ({L}ongidoridae) was assigned to persistent nematodes. {C}onsidering the two producing areas, plant-parasitic nematodes were significantly more abundant in the {S}ouss region than in the {H}aouz region, but nematode diversity was higher in the second one. {T}he prevalence of {M}eloidogyne spp. in the {H}aouz region would be related to the predominance of irrigated cropping systems in this region. {H}oplolaimidae nematodes ({H}elicotylenchus spp. and {R}otylenchus spp.) are better adapted to rainfed conditions that prevail in the {S}ouss region. {C}o-inertia analysis showed the importance of soil physic-chemical characteristics (e.g., p{H}, texture and nutrients) on the structure of the plant-parasitic nematode community patterns. {T}he high occurrence of {H}elicotylenchus spp. in olive orchards may be induced by fertilization. {A}phelenchoides spp., {G}racilacus spp., {P}ratylenchus spp., {R}otylenchidae and {T}ylenchidae were supported by coarse textures as it was observed in the {S}ouss region.},
