Identification of Globodera rostochiensis was done based on the information given by the Direktorat Perlindungan Hortikultura, that the potato plants in the sub district of Bumiaji, Batu, East Java, were attacked by potato cyst nematode (Globodera). Plants and soil samples were taken from the potato's areas in the sub-district of Bumiaji, especially in the villages of Brakseng (± 1,700-1,800 m a.s.l), Tunggangan (± 1,600-1,700 m a.s.l), Kembangan (± 1,600-1.700 m a.s.l), and Junggo (± 1,200 m a.s.l).
