An important step in the process of increasing the productivity and quality of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), grown under the conditions of the Republic of Moldova, is the phytosanitary control on the parasitic helminthological fauna in order to apply the necessary protection measures. The investigations were carried out in 10 administrative districts of the North-Central–South East areas, 10 localities, on 15 soybean sectors from various areas cultivated with fabaceae, where over 200 soil samples were collected, for further analysis in the laboratory. As a result of the helminthological investigations, the degree of impact was established, being represented by the number density of 50-250 individuals 100 g/soil, with an abundance of 10-25%, in spring. The indices of frequency and intensity of helminthologic impact were estimated at higher values (10-30%) in late spring-summer, differing among plantations. The complexes of phyto-nematode parasites consisted of 22 species, of 8 families and 2 orders. The endoparasites of the Pratylenchidae family, genus Pratylenchus predomonated, followed by the ectoparasites and semiendoparasites of the Hoplolaimida, Telotylenchidae, Criconematidae, Neotylenchidae, Tylenchidae families, differentiated by areas and environmental conditions.
