Abstract

Wheat and barley crops, infested by Heterodera avenae, differ in their efficiencyas host and in damage, with barley being damaged more than wheat. However, wheat was more efficienthost than barley in respect of nematode multiplication. Tall varieties, of both the crops; suffered more damage than dwarf counterparts, but nematode multiplication was more on the latter varieties.
