Abstract
Reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita, Meloidogyne arenaria, Pratylenchus coffeae, and Pratylenchus penetrans on two Neotyphodium uncinatum-infected Italian ryegrasses, Bishamon and JFIR-18, was examined. All tested samples of Bishamon and JFIR-18 were individually checked to confirm infection with an endophytic fungus at the end of each experiment. There was no significant difference in host suitability between endophyte-infected and endophyte-free individuals of the two cultivars for any of the tested nematodes.
