Abstract
The diapause of potato cyst nematodes was bypassed by avoiding desiccation of the cysts. Larvae were artificially hatched by cutting the cysts in halves and subsequent incubation in potato root diffusate. Approximately 40% of the cyst content hatched. These treatments had no influence on viability and fecundity as ascertained by rearing nematodes in pots and on roots of sprouts grown on water agar in Petri dishes. With the artificial hatching procedure it is possible to produce five to six generations a year in Petri dishes and three to five generations in pots.
