The experiment was conducted at the greenhouse of the Institute of Biological Sciences, University of the Philippines Los Baäos (UPLB) to augment and confirm results observed from the field study. Different inoculum levels of both nematode species were used to inoculate two-week old seedlings of Sesbania, Aeschymene, and rice grown in clay pots. Results of the greenhouse study was similar to that observed in the field. Nematode population was suppressed by both trap crops regardless of inoculum level while rice supported the multiplication and development of both nematode species.
