Bibliography: leaves 318-347. / ix, 347 [24] leaves : ill. (some col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / A major problem in the production of agricultural crops including wheat, is the damage caused by destructive plant parasitic nematodes, among these the root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus spp.) The association of P. neglectus with fungi in ceraeal root disease has been reported. Infection is associated with leaf yellowing, which reduces plant photosynthesis and grain yield. In nematode infested soil, well fertilized crops are usually less affected. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Plant Science, 1996?
