. I'm like 22 and when I had school stuff we had to read stupid text books and read through the whole useless bunch of info for what you needed for the answers you can't even do a  google search? You can't have looked very hard.

Nematoma + prey or  Nematoma + foodchain effects?????

Depending on the species, a nematode may be beneficial or detrimental to plant health.

this was on wiki ffs

From an agricultural perspective, there are two categories of nematode: predatory ones, which will kill garden pests like cutworms, and pest nematodes, like the root-knot nematode, which attack plants.

Predatory nematodes can be bred by soaking a specific recipe of leaves and other detritus in water, in a dark, cool place, and can even be purchased as an organic form of pest control.

Rotations of plants with nematode resistant species or varieties is one means of managing parasitic nematode infestations.
