Susceptibility of ten plant species to four Meloidogyne isolates in Malaysia

Abstract

The perineal pattern has long being accepted as a reliable character to separate species in the genus Meloidogyne. However, alternative approaches have been attempted to supplement the existing technique. A differential host test perineal pattern studies for species identification in the International Meloidogyne Project Programme. This study attempts to identify isolates of Meloidogyne collected from four areas in Malaysia by using the perineal pattern and differential host test method.
