SUMMARY The population dynamics of Globodera pallida were studied on susceptible potato plants. Oxamyl treated and untreated plots were planted with a G. pallida susceptible crop, from the first early maturity class, under polythene at the end of February and immediately followed, after harvest in June, by a susceptible second crop. Other nematicide treated and untreated plots were sown in April with a G. pallida susceptible cultivar. The results were variable but showed that reproduction of G. pallida under double cropping conditions was greater than on a single main crop.
