Abstract
MARTINEZ GALLARDO, José Ángel et al. First report of Meloidogyne enterolobii infesting tomato in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.spe11, pp.2165-2168. ISSN 2007-0934. https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v0i11.786.
During 2012-2013 horticultural cycle, the presence of galls was observed in tomato plants cv Ramses (high resistant to M. incognita, M. javanica and M. arenaria) grown in soil and shade mesh conditions in Culiacan, Sinaloa. The aim of this study was to determine which species of Meloidogyne was causing galls on the roots of plants. Galled roots were collected, and proceeded to the morphological and molecular identification by PCR for females extracted from the roots. Based on morphological, morphometric and confirmation by PCR, the causative agent was identified as Meloidogyne enterolobii.
