(chiefly col.), map ; 30 cm.The study aimed to determine the distribution of both P. thornei and P. neglectus in South Australia. Also to study the field and laboratory population dynamics of P. thornei in relation to wheat yields, to determine its host range on a variety of cereal and non-leguminous hosts and to identify possible sources of nematode resistant wheat cultivars/varieties. Preliminary experiments studied the involvement of root rotting fungi with the nematode in wheat disease.373303 bytesapplication/pdfenPratylenchus South Australia.Wheat Diseases and pests South Australia.Nematode diseases of plants South Australia.Thesis
