Host suitability of six soybean cultivars to Hoplolaimus columbus was evaluated in monoxenic culture and greenhouse experiments. Differences in nematode population development were detected among cultivars. [sub1]Bryan,[sub2] was less suitable as a host than [sub1]Braxton,[sub2] and [sub1]Centennial.[sub2] Suitability of these cultivars for reproduction of H. columbus did not relate to their maturity groups or tolerancerating, a result consistent with previous findings.
