Abstract
THE relationship between hydrostatic pressure-deficiency and the migration of larvæ of the beet eelworm, Heterodera schachtii Schmidt, has been described previously1. It was shown that larval mobility was low in sand in which water was confined to the points of contact of sand particles. It was suggested that more critical experiments would be needed to determine whether there was an optimum pressure-deficiency for eelworm migration.
