Abstract
This article re-analyzes existing phytohelminthological observations of nematodes associated with dog rose (Rosa canina L.) in Surkhandarya Region with particular attention to dominance and distribution within the root–rhizosphere system. Its purpose is to provide an evidence-based interpretation, identify limitations of the available records, and propose practical monitoring priorities. Dominance cannot be inferred from occurrence alone; standardized individual counts and separate host-specific records are required. Comparisons with published studies are used to develop methodological recommendations without presenting unverified experimental results.
