Abstract
The effect of X. insigne on grapevine is similar to that of X. americanum on sugar maple (Di Sanzo and Rhode, 1969) or X. americanum and X. chambersi on strawberry (Perry, 1958). The conspiquous galling of the root tips of grapevine caused by X. index and X. diversicauda tum (Davis and Jenkins, 1960; Raski and Radewald, 1958) was not observed in the experiment with X. insigne. However, Cohn and Orion (1970) and Weischer and Wyss (1976) did not observe galling on root tips of grapevines infested with X. index.
