Abstract

A population level of 1000 M. brevidens and above per kg of soil was found to affect plant growth significantly. The total rate of nematode multiplication was higlest at 10,000 inoculum level but the maximum rate of multiplication was at the 10 inoculum level. M. brevidens appeared to be a more aggresive parasite than T. vulgaris as far as plant growth of wheat was concerned and also M. brevidens appeared to suppress the multiplication of T. vulgaris on wheat roots.
