Abstract
The build-up index of the lance nematode (Hoplolaimus indicus) was 6·88, 6·23, 3·72, 2·76 and 2·28 respectively at harvest of the rice varietyPadma when inoculated with 900 females and 100 males at 10, 30,50,70 and 90 days age of plants. The high build-up in the inoculations at 10 or 30 days age of plants was due to the rapid multiplication of the nematode in successive generations which resulted in yield losses of 25·11 and 19·11% respectively. The susceptibility of the plant, however, was not affected by the age of the plant at inoculation time, but on the availability of the root system.
