such soils generally fail. Stephens (3)a has reported that the root-knot nematode, Heterodera rnarioni (Cornu), is largely responsible for th~ failure of lespedeza in this area. This distribution of the rootknot nematode is so universal in the lighter soils of the Coastal Plain as to make practically all lespedeza plantings of short duration. The need for a,solution to this problem stimulated the studies described here.
