The sustainable organic production involves a lot of difficulties in pest control. Plant-parasitic nematodes of the generaPratylenchus cause significant economic damage to raspberry production. To study the species composition of rootlesionnematodes of Pratylenchus spp., observations were carried out of raspberry plants in conventional and organiccultivation systems. The species composition of the established nematodes by different farming technologies wassimilar. In the conventional production, the species composition of nematodes was relatively homogeneous, as thenumber of established Pratylenchus species was 4, while, in the organic production, the species composition ofnematodes is characterized by variety, but their number was 6. The number of individuals of the Pratylenchus species inconventional cultivation was significantly higher.
