Nematodes are microscopic worms belonging to the soil biota with high species diversity. Nematodes have different compositions in different types of soil and areas. This research is conduct to determine the presence and genus of soil nematodes found in mustard plantations in Landasan Ulin Utara Village, Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan. Soil samples are taken from community vegetable plantations with a depth of 0-20 cm around the mustard plant rhizosphere located in ??Jalan Kurnia and Jalan Sukamara, Landasan Ulin Utara Village, Banjarbaru. Extraction to separate nematodes from soil using the Whitehead & Hemming method (1965) and nematode fixation using the Seinhorst method (1959).
