Abstract: Several tests were conducted in the greenhouse to compare the reproduction of M. chitwoodi and M. fallax on some field crops grown at the type locality of M. fallax and in the region were both nematodes occur. In addition some related crops and Tagetes erecta and T. patula were also tested. The French bean cv. Masai, the chicory cvs Hybrid F1, Mid-Early and Groenlof, the dahlia cv. Vuurvogel and an unknown cv. of borage supported low populations of both M. chitwoodi and M. fallax. The French bean cvs Strike and Groffy showed a differential response toward both nematodes: both cvs were good hosts for M. chitwoodi and non-hosts for M. fallax.
