Abstract

Onion (Allium cepa L.) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seedlings grown in soil treated with DCPA (dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate) were less susceptible to northern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne hapla Chitwood) infection than seedlings grown in untreated soil. DCPA treatment of nematode larvae did not alter their pathogenicity. Resistance could be correlated with altered cell structure of the root epidermis, increased root exudate as evidenced by soil adherence, reduced fibrous root development, or both.
