REACTION OF 3 COOL-SEASON ANNUAL LEGUME SPECIES TO MELOIDOGYNE-ARENARIA AND HETERODERA-GLYCINES

Breeding lines and accessions of Vicia villosa Roth, V. sativa L., and Lathyrus hirsutus L. were evaluated for resistance to Meloidogyne are naria race 2 and Heterodera glycines race 4 in the greenhouse. Vicia v illosa accessions were susceptible to M. arenaria whereas some V. sati va accessions were completely resistant. All L. hirsutus accessions we re sensitive to M. arenaria; however, nematode reproduction and damage symptoms were significantly less than on the hairy vetch control. Non e of three cool-season legumes was susceptible to H. glycines.
