SUMMARY Thin, poor quality crowns were correlated with small populations of Pratylenchus penetrans (Cobb) Chitwood & Oteifa in the roots of celery plants grown in a field in Cheshire, England, in 1975. P. penetrans invaded the petioles and reproduced there but caused no obvious damage. The presence of waterlogged, translucent petioles in some plants was not related to the concentration of P. penetrans in the soil, roots or petioles.
