In an 8-year sod-based rotation study, nematode population densities varied with different row-crop sequences and grass sods. In continuous row-crop rotations (cotton/corn/groundnut), cotton and corn favoured rapid increase of Belonolaimus longicaudatus and Trichodorus christiei. Numbers of Pratylenchus brachyurus were quite variable on all crops. Groundnut favoured an increase of Crico-nemoides ornatum but suppressed the other 3 species.
