Overview

Randomized trial reveals pathogenicity of Meloidogyne enterolobii in zucchini, indicating a threat to crops.

Key Points

  • The study aims to confirm the presence of Meloidogyne enterolobii in zucchini crops in Hidalgo, Mexico.
  • Soil and root samples collected from commercial zucchini plants
  • DNA extracted from egg masses and sequenced for species identification
  • Pathogenicity tests conducted using inoculated and non-inoculated control plants
  • 90% of inspected plants exhibited root-knot nematode symptoms
  • Inoculated plants developed severe galling after 60 days
  • DNA sequencing confirmed 99.9% identity with Meloidogyne enterolobii
