Abstract
Seedlings of Pinus caribaea, grown in 24 cm diameter pots, were inocul ated separately with each of six nematode genera and left to grow for 6 months in the greenhouse. Fewer Hemicriconemoides spp. were observed 6 months after inoculation. Inoculation of seedlings with Scutellonem a led to increased root growth. Root and top weights of seedlings grow n in the soil infested with Criconemella spp. were not significantly r educed. A high inoculum density of Xiphinema and Rotylenchus caused a significant reduction in the root and top weights of seedlings.
