Cooperative investigations on nematodes of chickpea and lentil were continued in 1985/86 to identify the chickpea cyst nematode, to focus on the biology of Heterodera ciceri and Meloidogyne artiellia on chickpea under field conditions, to assess yield loses of chickpea and lentil caused by infestations of H. ciceri, and to control Pratylenchus thornei on winter and spring-sown chickpea. Moreover, more chickpea lines were screened for their resistance to M. artiellia.
