Extract
For many years it has been recognised that the nematode, Anguillulina dipsaci, is a major pest of narcissus, and growers and scientific workers alike are familiar with the presence of damaged and discoloured tissues within the bulbs, accompanied by swelling and distortion of the foliage, which are, prior to the death of the bulb, associated with attack by this pest. Certain other nematodes are sometimes responsible for somewhat similar injury to the bulbs, and in 1932 Steiner & Buhrer published a short account of those nematodes which have, on occasion, been found within and apparently been responsible for the diseased condition of narcissus bulbs in U.S.A.
