Abstract

Citrus orchards in the Cobram district of northern Victoria were surveyed in 1976 for the presence of plant parasitic nematodes; in particular for the citrus nematode Tylenchulus semipenetrans. One hundred and forty-six soil samples were collected from 38 orchards. Nine genera were recorded, the most prevalant being Tylenchulus and Paratrichodorus (95 per cent and 37 per cent respectively, of all samples). T. semipenetrans was present in all orchards sampled. Population levels of T. semipenetrans larvae exceeded 1000 per 500 g of soil in 60 per cent of samples.
