Abstract
New data on egg development and death rates, and refinements of logic concerning interaction of the nematode and host, were incorporated into a stimulation model of a Meloidogyne arenaria and grapevine system. Simulations of field data improved but other areas of weakness in the model were discovered. Two peaks in the egg population curve suggested that the nematode was able to complete 2 life cycles before host dormancy and declining temperatures limited physiological activity.Keywords
