Abstract

The centrifugal flotation method, using a 200-mesh (75 m opening) or finer sieve, a sugar flotation medium (sp. gr. 1.18) and a horizontal rotor, produced maximum extraction of ring nematode, Criconemella rustica (Micoletzky), from soil. Females of C. rustica deposited up to 18 eggs, and hatch occurred in 14-21 days. Rice cutgrass, orchard-grass and bottle-brush grass were the best of 39 hosts of M. rustica.
