Emergence of juveniles from anguina tritici galls, numbers reaching growing point of wheat seedlings and relationship between inoculum levels and number and size of galls produced

Emergence of juveniles from nematode galls was initiated on 4th day in alternate wetting and drying conditions but in water alone, emergence was superior. The number of tillers infected with juveniles had a direct relation with the inoculum level, as also the number and size of calls produced. Up to 3 gall level, more and bigger galls were produced than at lower or stilI higher levels.
