Abstract

The reproductive potential of the nematode Ditylenchus destructor was evaluated on two reported hosts, alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and red clover (Trifolium pratense), and three crops of unknown host status, corn (Zea mays), oat (Avena sativa), and snapbean (Phaseolus vulgaris), in microplot, greenhouse, and laboratory experiments. Potato and fallow treatments were included for comparison. Relative to the potato cultivar Norland, snapbean was a good host, red clover and corn were intermediate hosts, alfalfa was a poor host, and oat was a nonhost for nematodes grown in vitro in monoxenic cultures (.)
