Guesswork
I think Anhangerde is soil that clings to vegetables after they are harvested. And Wascherde could be the residues left from washing vegetables.
Ein wichtiger Ausbreitungsweg für Kartoffelzystennematoden ist die Verschleppung mit dem Pflanzgut. In der Anhangerde können die Zysten der Nematoden über sehr weite Entfernungen verbreitet werden.
