Abstract
HOST plants deficient in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulphur and iron will support a population of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica 1, whereas plants on full nutrient and heavily infected with M. incognita acrita do not show deficiencies of these elements2. It has been reported3, however, that tomatoes infected with M. incognita acrita show less sodium in their tissues than do uninfected plants.
