Overview

This report identifies Meloidogyne enterolobii affecting guava, suggesting a new agricultural threat in Mexico.

Key Points

  • To identify and confirm the presence of Meloidogyne enterolobii in guava trees in Mexico.
  • Observed symptoms of root-knot and foliar yellowing in guava trees.
  • Used morphological characteristics and species-specific primers for detection.
  • Conducted phylogenetic analysis with ITS and coxI sequences.
  • Inoculated guava seedlings to confirm pathogenicity.
  • Confirmed identification of Meloidogyne enterolobii affecting guava.
  • Guava seedlings showed root galling symptoms.
  • Achieved a reproduction factor of 21.2 at 110 days post-inoculation.
