1 Notes: EM: egg masses, EMI: egg mass index. 10–5 Scale (Hartman and Sasser, 1985), 0 = no egg masses, 1 = 1–2 egg masses, 2 = 3–10 egg masses, 3 = 11–30 egg masses, 4 = 31–100 egg masses, 5 = more than 100 egg masses. Resistant: Egg mass index (EMI) ≤ 2; Susceptible: Egg mass index (EMI) > 2. Values within a line followed by the same upper case letter are not significantly different (p = 0.05) according to Tukey’s multiple range test. The data represent means of five replicates. Each nematode species-rootstock combination was replicated five times in a completely randomized design and the experiment was repeated twice. Sixty days after inoculation, the plants were removed and the egg masses were counted from the whole root system.
