Hirschmanniella oryzae, i.e. rice root nematode (RRN), is among the major pests of rice and is the most common plant-parasitic nematode found on irrigated rice.[1] Recent modifications in cultivation practices have led to a substantial increase in rice production, which has been accompanied by heightened levels of RRN.[2] The proportional increases in RRN with rice production can be explained by the nematode's impeccable adaptation towards constantly flooded conditions in which irrigated rice is often being grown.[3]

The genus Hirschmanniella is found within the family Pratylenchidae and contains around 35 species, the majority of which are migratory endoparasitic nematodes of plant roots.[4]
