Studies on the varietal resistance of the soybean to the cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe and its damage

In order to find out resistant varieties of the soybean to the cyst nematode. Heterodera glycines Ich. 64 soybean varieties were tested. 1. According to the result of investigations about correlation between numbers of cyst nematodes and soybean yields ; in pot test . and in field investigation $. There is a negative correlation between the density of nematodes and the soybean yield. 2. All of the recommended varieties were appeared susceptible; P I-84751. P I-90763. Southern-proripic. Keumgang-sorip. Baektai were appeared comparatively resistant ; and other varieties were appeared to be medium or susceptible. 3. Fewer larvae were developed into adult female cysts in resistant varieties than in susceptible ones.
