Effects of tannic acid on hatching of Heterodera glycines eggs were de
termined in vitro using three batches of eggs obtained from greenhouse
cultures in Florida or from naturally infested field soil in Minnesot
a. A quadratic model fits the percentage egg hatch. Hatch increased wi
th increasing tannic acid concentrations from 0 to about 39 mg/liter,
then declined with further increases in concentration. Tannic acid did
not induce hatching of dormant eggs obtained from the field.
