Abstract
The cabbage cyst nematode, Heterodera cruciferae has been reported as one of the pests infecting
kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea L. var. gongylodes) and white cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. captita
alba) in Tabriz vegetable farmlands. In this project, its life cycle on these two hosts in the region was
studied. Two cultivars of cabbage commonly grown in the region were cultivated under three different
conditions: in naturally infested field, in greenhouse, and in micro plots. During the growing season,
the nematode life cycle on the crops was monitored. Samples were collected periodically from host
plant roots and soil. The nematode completed two generations and initiated the third on the cabbage.
These findings can be used to determine the critical harvesting date of the different cabbage crops to
avoid nematode reproduction.
