Fig. 7. Relationship between soybean cyst nematode eggs per cyst [log10 (eggs per cyst 100 cm3 of soil + 1)] and the proportion of each soil fraction in the sample. Means ± standard error in Field A (open circles) and in Field B (closed circles) are indicated. The left column (A, B, C, and D) corresponds to sand percentage, the central column (E, F, G, and H) corresponds to clay percentage, and the right column (I, J, K, and L) corresponds to silt percentage at (A, E, and I) planting 1999, (B, F, and J) harvest 1999, (C, G, and K) planting 2000, and (D, H, and L) harvest 2000. Regression curves fitted are indicated as solid lines (Field B) and dashed lines (Field A) where significant (0.05 significance level).
