Zusammenfassung:SEINHORST developed a model to relate the density of nematodes in a population and the damage caused to plants 1 . Later he developed another model to relate the increase in the population and the density of the population 2 . These models, based on the relationships between predator and prey of Nicholson and Bailey 3 , make two principal assumptions: ( a ) the “average” nematode is the same at all densities; and ( b ) the nematodes invade the host tissue randomly, that is they do not attract or repel each other.
