Abstract
IT is well known that the larvæ of the potato root eelworm, H. rostochiensis, are stimulated to emerge from the eggs contained in the cysts by a secretion from the roots of growing potato plants. This root diffusate can be collected and used in the laboratory. Anhydrotetronic acid is also an effective stimulant.
