    Feeding:

    Predator on other nematodes.
    Mononchoides gaugleri was cultured on  Eschirichia coli on 2% agar. Soil cores were inoculated with 2000 Mononchoides gaugleri or left uninoculated.  After 30 days, numbers of plant-feeding nematodes were significantly lower than in the cores not treated with M. gaugleri.
