Observations were made on the attraction of Tylenchorhynchus mashhoodi towards chickpea roots at different intervals and regions of roots in agar plate. Effects of incubation periods, temperatures, agar concentrations, thickness of agar and the distance of inoculation of T. mashhoodi from the source of attraction were also determined. Maximum attraction was recorded at 6 h. T. mashhoodi responded maximum towards elongation zone (1-2 cm) of chickpea root in agar plates containing 2mm thick layer of 1% water-agar with 1-2 cm (elongation zone) incubated for 12 h at 30°C. Chickpea roots were most attractive when T. mashhoodi was placed at a distance of 2-3 cm.
