The Baermann funnel method requires three to four Kimwipes tissues for clean nematode extraction. To find more efficient and economical nematode extraction paper, 14 different kinds of tissue papers were tested and compared with Kimwipes tissues. Nematode species used in the extraction efficiency test were juvenile (J2) of Heterodera spp., J2 of Meloidogyne spp., Pratylenchus spp., Rhabditis spp., Acrobeloides spp., Panagrolaimus spp., Poikilolaimus spp. and Diplogasterida. Extraction efficiency varied between 42.0 to 88.8%. Considering costs, extraction efficacy, and cleanness, one sheet of Pulling Kitchen Towel (MONALISA Co., Korea) is selected.
