SUMMARY Pots of sterilized soil were inoculated with a few Tylenchorhynchus dubius (Biitschli) and barley was grown twice in the pots. Although the barley was apparently not harmed, T. dubius multiplied greatly. Beans ( Vicia faba L. cv. Tarvin) were then grown in the pots and were severely damaged by the nematodes. The method used could be adapted to suit other nematodes and crop plants.
