Abstract

Population fluctuation studied showed that number of females increased with the increase of crop time. Minimum females (8.45/5g root) found at 30 days while highest at 120 days after sowing (36.65/5g roots). Population of cyst/200 cc soil also showed similar trend as of females/5g roots. However, larvae/200 cc soil found maximum at 45 days of sowing and minimum at 120 days after sowing of wheat.
