Abstract
By growing potatoes in infested soil in sectional wooden boxes, changes in the population of potato root eelworm have been observed at 5, 9, 13 and 19 weeks after planting, and at 5 two-inch levels in the soil. Results show that most of the increase in population occurred during the last 6 weeks of the experiment and that the normal population changes proceeded more slowly in the topmost level, leading to a lower final population in that level.Keywords
