Abstract
Two pot experiments in a glasshouse were carried out to assess the relative increase of Pratylenchus penetrans on 7 plants commonly used as cover or green manure crops in the northeastern USA. The crops used were rye, wheat, oats, Echinochloa crusgalli var. frumentacea (Japanese millet), Fagopyrum esculentum (buckwheat), Sorghum sudanense (Sudangrass) and S. sudanense X S. bicolor (sudex). There was a net increase in nematode numbers after 8 weeks' growth of rye, wheat, Japanese millet and buckwheat in one experiment and of rye in the second. Oats supported a moderately large population in one experiment and have previously been reported as a good host of P. penetrans. Only sudangrass and sudex were consistently poor hosts. Where they are sufficiently cold-hardy and do not support other nematode pests, the growth of oats, sudangrass and sudex may help to reduce numbers of P. penetrans
