Abstract
IN the summer of 1944, cysts of a root eelworm were found on carrots growing on a smallholding at Chatteris in the Isle of Ely. Afterwards, infestations were noted on carrots in several other fields in the same area, some of which were alleged to have grown carrots for twenty years in succession. Where the infestation was heavy, the crop was poor and patchy. Plants lifted from the poor patches were stunted and carried an abundance of lateral roots; but this development of lateral roots was less marked than in sugar beet heavily attacked by the beet eelworm (Heterodera schachtii).
