Relative resistance of grape rootstocks and scion cultivars to M. xenoplax in glasshouse trials.

Nematodesb
CultivarRfa(g−1 root)
aReproductive factor: the ratio of the final nematode population density/initial population density per pot. Rf values <1.0 indicate a high level of resistance.
bPopulation collected in the southern Willamette Valley, OR (OR-SWV). Vines grown in soil infested initially with ~1.0 M. xenoplax g−1 soil. Population densities estimated from a 250-g sample of soil from each pot 32 wk after infesting the soil with nematodes.
cMeans followed by different letters are significantly different according to Fisher’s protected LSD.
