One of the causes of " clover ; These eelworms of clover have rather elongated rounded bodies which taper towards each end : they are not divided into segments (like the true worms), and although they are devoid of limbs, they have considerable powers of locomotion. These nematoids are found on and in the leaves and stems, as well as in the roots of clovers.

The nematoids of clover are never actually parasitic, although they seriously injure these crops. It is only C.
