Abstract

Members of the genus Meloidogyne (Goeldi, 1887) Chitwood, 1949, are called 'root-knot' nematodes because they induce galls on the roots of most plants attacked. Species of Me/oidogyne cause the most important nematological problem in agriculture of developing countries in the tropics for the following reasons: many tropical crops are heavily damaged by species of Meloidogyne; disease complexes exist in which root-knot nematodes increase the severity of important fungal and bacterial diseases (e.g. Fusarium wilt of tomato and bacterial wilt oftobacco), and these nematodes are widespread and frequently abundant in tropical soils...
