Abstract

The distribution of nematodes in fields on ten farms was influenced by soil type, cropping and manuring. The total number of active nematodes per 100 ml. of soil ranged from 1, 005 to 16, 105 with an average of 3, 004. Known and suspected phytophagous nematodes ranged from 120 to 3, 510 per 100 ml. of soil with an average of 909. The prevalent phytophagous genera were Heterodera, Paratylenchus, Pratylenchus, Rotylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus and Meloidogyne. The authors suggest that such surveys are a starting point for further research into several obscure crop husbandry problems. H. R. Wallace.
