Iran is a mountainous country with almost one-third of its land mass found in arid dessert. Consequently, trees are sparse in many Iranian provinces and those trees that do exist are often planted in urban settings or exist in small orchards. The non-native pines, Pinus eldarica, P. halepensis and P. nigra are widely planted throughout the major cities of Iran. Because of the aethestic and functional importance of the trees in these locations, this study was undertaken to determine if plant-parasitic nematodes known to cause significant damage to Pinus spp were present in urban settings. Soil samples from forest parks and urban areas with a high density of Pinus spp were taken from sixty-nine different locations within the provincial capital cities of Tehran, Markazi and Qom, Iran. At total of seventeen different species were identified among the three locations but none of these species identified have previously been documented to cause significant injury on pine at the levels detected. The results of the current study marks a first record of plant parasitic nematodes associated with Pinus spp. in Iran. Presently, there are no other reports of nematodes associated with pine trees in Iran. Based on the sampling conducted from this study, it seems unlikely that non-native pines planted in arid regions of Iran are likely to be threatened by indigenous plant-parasitic nematodes.
