Clover cyst nematode, Heterodera trifolii have recently been identified as a serious pest to Chinese cabbage in highland area of Korea. This study was conducted to investigate the host specificity effect of H. trifolii by their inoculation density and temperature on Chinese cabbage and kale in pot in laboratory condition. H. trifolii inoculated with (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 eggs /g soil), where the number of female resulted higher in Chinese cabbage than in kale but there was no statistical differences between them. The number of cysts did not show any variation by their inoculation density in both plants. The results depicted the proliferation of H. trifolii by temperature (15, 20, 25, 30℃), where the number of females, cysts and eggs has their highest proliferation in 20℃ condition. The study thus demonstrated that, Chinese cabbage is considered a suitable host of the clover cyst nematode compared to the kale and the suitable temperature of the reproduction is estimated as 20°C.
