Extract

Pieces of Hippeastrum roots were sent to the Nematology Department, Rothamsted Experimental Station, in July, 1950, by Dr. Morris Cohen, National Agricultural Advisory Service, Northern Province. They originated from a collection of these hothouse Amaryllids at Hexham, Northumberland. Later some more pieces of root and a potted plant, which was heavily infested, were received. Dr. Cohen had found eelworms associated with lesions on the roots and in the absence of other causes, thought they might be responsible for the damage to the roots and the consequent ill-health of the bulbs during the previous few years.
