Study Name: Resistance to Meloidogyne Chitwoodi Nematodes Experiment Type: Screenhouse SCREENHOUSE Study Year: 1985 Year started: //1985 Year ended: 12/28/1986. Cuttings were taken from ten seedlings and allowed two weeks for root growth. They were then inoculated with 2000-3000 eggs by dispersing them over the soil. After a 60 day inoculation period, the plants were examined for root galls and given a gall index (0-5). The roots were then examined for egg masses and given an index rating (0-5). A reproduction rating (.01-80.90) was also calculated for each accession.
