Some Observations on the biology of the Root-gall Nematode, Anguillulina Radicicola (Greeff, 1872)

| Summary: | In a paper published in 1925, the writer described the anatomy of the adults of this parasite and amplified Schøyen's account of it. At the same time it was shown that infective material derived from Elymus arenarius could give rise to galls on the roots of barley and Poa annua . Kemner (1930) has quite recently shown experimentally that the parasite from barley can set up galls on E. arenarius and presented important data on the agricultural significance of the parasite in northern Sweden. Detailed information as to which is infective stage of the parasite and on its life-history have so far been lacking and in order to remedy this omission the writer made a number of observations and carried out certain cultural experiments during 1927 and in the months of July, August and September 1931. These latter were made possible by the arrival during July of a good supply of galled roots of Elymus arenarius received in a living condition. |
