Abstract

In random sampling of three cocoa varieties (Amelonado, Upper Amazon and Sabah mixed hybrid), seven genera of phytoparasitic nematodes were recorded, of which Helicotylenchus and Rotylenchulus were most common. Of these two genera, R. reniformis showed a host preference for Tephrosia rather than cocoa when both were planted together. In Malaysia, no species has yet been proved to be pathogenic to cocoa.
