Abstract

The influence of temperature on infectivity, development, and reproduction of the citrus nematode, Tylenchulus semipenetrans on 'Rough' lemon (Citrus limon) was studied. The average optimum temperature for penetration, development, and reproduction was 25° C. Penetration at 20° was greater than at 30°, whereas development and reproduction were slower at 20° than at 30° C.
