Occurrence and distribution of the potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis, were investigated in 5 major potato-producing areas in Sri Lanka in 1991. Distribution of the nematode was restricted to the potato fields in and around Nuwara Eliya district, where the nematode had been detected in 1989. This nematode was presumably introduced accidentally by imported seed potatoes around 1984. Crop rotation, especially cabbage after the potato, appeared to be effective in reducing the nematode population. Jpn. J. Nematol. 22: 43-48 (1992).
