Abstract
SEINHORST developed a model to relate the density of nematodes in a population and the damage caused to plants1. Later he developed another model to relate the increase in the population and the density of the population2. These models, based on the relationships between predator and prey of Nicholson and Bailey3, make two principal assumptions: (a) the “average” nematode is the same at all densities; and (b) the nematodes invade the host tissue randomly, that is they do not attract or repel each other.
