SUMMARY In a study of the association between the causal fungus of brown root rot of tomatoes and Heterodera rostochiensis Woll., it was demonstrated that the nematode did not increase the susceptibility of the roots to invasion by the fungus; however, the fungus decreased the hatch of the potato root eleworm, the invasion of the host plant by the nematode, and number of new cysts subsequently produced.
