Experiment was conducted to and out the influence of white tip nematode on the growth of rice plant and yield. The rice plants were reduced height, number of tillers and yield when the nemato do was inoculated. Number of injured stems and density of nematode were increased 10 days after white tip symptoms appeared(Aug. 5) . There was negative correlation(r=-0.78) between percentage of injured stems and yield of rice, and critical percentage of injured stems affecting to yield in panicle formation stage was $13\%$. Weight of 1,000 grains and number of grains were reduced about $10\%$, number of panicles and panicle length were reduced about $5\%$ in nematode inoculation plot of suseptible variety, Min-higari.
