Ficus carica seeds were planted in pots containing 700 cm3 of soil infested with H. fici. Other pots were unseeded and contained 10 eggs plus 2nd-stage juveniles/cm3 soil. Results showed a tolerance limit of T = 0.15 eggs and 2nd-stage juveniles/cm3 soil. Multiplication rates at high densities averaged 0.91, at low initial densities about 9. All 10 plants with initial inoculation densities of more than or equal to 10 died.
