Abstract
Soil temperature, soil moisture and host plant significantly affected the multiplication rate of Aphasmatylenchus straturatus and A. valiabi lis. These two nematodes appeared unable to enter anhydrobiosis and to survive in dry soil during the dry season. A. straturatus is pathogen ic to cowpea and peanut at inoculum levels above 1000 and 2000 nematod es per plant respectively.; A. variabilis is non pathogenic to miller at the inoculum levels tested. The distribution of the three known spe cies of the genus Aphasmatylenchus in West Africa is discussed.
