Breeding lines and accessions of Vicia villosa Roth, V. sativa L., and Lathyrus hirsutus L. were evaluated for resistance to Meloidogyne arenaria race 2 and Heterodera glycines race 4 in the greenhouse. Vicia villosa accessions were susceptible to M. arenaria whereas some V. sativa accessions were completely resistant. All L. hirsutus accessions were sensitive to M. arenaria; however, nematode reproduction and damage symptoms were significantly less than on the hairy vetch control. None of three cool-season legumes was susceptible to H. glycines.
