dc.description.abstract	Radopholus similis infestation on coconut and arecanut is reported from various districts of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The semi-hard orange-coloured portion of the main roots of coconut is found to harbour maximum number nematodes. Peeling and slicing of roots during processing resulted in maximum nematode recovery. Optimum temperature range for extraction of R. similis from coconut roots is 4.0oC to 14.0oC. R. similis produces small, elongate reddish brown cortical lesions on root of coconut and arecanut which later coalesce and cause extensive root rotting. Population from coconut, arecanut and banana did not differ in their pathogenicity. The coconut cultivars West Coast Tall, Dwarf Orange, Dwarf Green, Gangabondam, Tall x Dwarf, Dwarf x Tall and Tall x Gangabondam are all susceptible to the burrowing nematode.	en_US
