In this study, penetration, population changes and reproduction rates of root lesion nematodes, Pratylenchus neglectus (Rensch, 1924), Pratylenchus penetrans (Cobb, 1917) and Pratylenchus thornei Sher & Allen, 1953 (Tylenchida: Pratylenchidae), at 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and 56 d after inoculation in chickpea Bad 2, Bad 3 (Cicer reticulatum Ladiz) and Cermi [Cicer echinospermum P.H.Davis (Fabales: Fabaceae)] were assessed in a controlled environment room in 2018-2019. No juveniles were observed in the roots in the first 3 d after inoculation. Although, population density of P. thomei reached the highest in Cermi (21 d), Bad 3 (42 d) and the lowest observed on Bad 2. Pratylenchus negtectus reached the highest population density in Bad 3 and Cermi on day 28. The population density of P. neglectus was the lowest in Bad 2. Also, population density of P. penetrans reached the highest in Bad 3 cultivar within 49 d, similar to P. thomei, whereas Bari 2 and Cermi had low population densities during the entire experimental period.
