Abstract

One group of plant-parasitic nematodes that is very important is the root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyn spp. This is because these nematodes are not only world-wide these nematodes are not only world-wide in distribution but also have a very wide host range and cause considerable damage to economic food crops. And, therefore, effective but practical and economical control measures against the root-knot nematodes must be developed. However, before an effective control program strategy can be developed the species and biotypes of root-knot nematodes present in the area must first be known, hence this study.
