REACTION OF 9 VICIA SPECIES TO MELOIDOGYNE-ARENARIA RACE 2 AND HETERODERA-GLYCINES RACE-4

Twenty three accessions of Vicia spp., including V. articulata Hornem. , V. benghalensis L., V. ervilia (L.) Willd., V. lutea L., V. narbonen sis L., V. pannonica Crantz., V. peregrina L., V. sativa L., and V. vi llosa Roth, were evaluated for resistance to Meloidogyne arenaria race 2 and Heterodera glycines race 4 in an 8-week greenhouse experiment. Vicia ervilia PI 203145, V. lutea PI 210994, and all accessions of V. sativa were immune to M. arenaria race 2 and H. glycines race 4. One a ccession of V. villosa, PI 206493, was infected and galled by M. arena ria but supported no nematode reproduction. This is the first time tha t this level of resistance to M. arenaria has been reported in a Vicia species.
