Abstract
The significance of root transmission of the red ring nematode (Rhadinaphelenchus cocophilus) to coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) was investigated in a screen-house experiment. Transmission by root contact occurred in seven of 15 plants growing around five inoculated plants. In another experiment, each plant became infected when a nematode suspension was placed on the mechanically damaged roots. Young seedlings planted in a hole where previously diseased palms were growing did not develop the typical symptoms of red ring disease (.)
