Extract

In their preliminary paper (Fenwick and Franklin, 1942) on the identification of the cyst-forming species of the nematode Heterodera by means of the length of the larvae, the present authors studied methods of preparing the larvae for measurement and of making the measurements, and considered the form of sample to be taken from a population of Heterodera larvae which would give the most reliable estimate of the mean length of the whole population. Those studies were made on the larvae of H. rostochiensis only, but the ultimate purpose was to obtain strictly comparable estimates of the mean lengths of the larvae of all the known species of Heterodera in order to find out whether larvae of the different species could be identified by their length.
