RefaeiA.R. GadS.B. 62009126A pot experiment was conducted to determine the influence of three of inoculum levels (1000, 2000 and 3000 J2 pot-1) of Meloidogyne javanica on nematode reproduction and host response of peanut plant cv. Giza 4 under greenhouse conditions at at 30±5°C. In general, nematode reproduction and host damage were both affected by the initial inoculum levels. The greater reduction percentage of plant fresh (57.7%), shoot dry (38.82) and pods weights (52.59%) and nodules numbers (73.33%) were recorded at inoclum level 2000 J2/peanut plant, when rate of nematode build-up reached the maximum value of 1.64. Regression analysis of Pi vs. rate of nematode build-up on peanut plants gave value of R2 amounted to 0.3193. On the other hand, when the initial inoculum level added increased up to 3000 J2/peanut plant, the percentage reduction of whole plant fresh weight (47.07%) and other growth parameters as well as nematode build-up (0.8) also obviously decreased.]]>Bybd, Jr. D.W., T.
