more cysts on striate lespedeza and red clover and fewer cysts on alsike
clover. The North Carolina isolate produced a few egg-bearing cysts on soybean,
which was a nonhost for the Illinois isolate. Only common vetch was a nonhost
for both isolates. [ASJ

nematode on greengram. INDIAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES,
v.56(1i):792-795. [En] [En Abstj (REP.MB-2919)
Six or more root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus zeae Graham) per g soil
significantly reduced the germination of Pusa Baisakhi mungbean [Vigna radiata
(Linn.) Wilczekj. The growth of seedlings was adversely affected by an initial
population of 4 nematodes per g soil. One thousand P. zeae per kg soil was
found to be the pathogenic level. The nematode multiplication was the highest
at inoculum level of nematodes per g of soil. [AS]

Foliar symptoms of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium,
sulfur, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, and boron deficiencies and manganese and
boron toxicities in mungbean (Vigna radiata cv. Berken) are described.
Photographs of the foliar symptoms of these nutrient disorders accompany the
descriptions. The symptoms described are those developed in water culture. [AS]

*0614 Bindra, O.S. 1965. Insect pests of pulse crops. INDIAN FARMING,
v.17(11):12-14,56. [En] (REP.MB-1625)
Chickpeas, pigeonpea, mungbean, blackgram, lentil, pea, cowpea, moth bean
and horse gram are imporant pulse crops in India. More than 150 species of
insects are known to attack these crops. Of them about 25 important pests which
cause serious damage either in the field or in the storage are described. Both
prophylactic and remedial measures for controlling them are suggested. [THH]
