Tylenchida Tylenchina Tylenchoidea Meloidogynidae Meloidogyninae
Meloidogyne indica Whitehead, 1968
Review general characteristics of the genus Meloidogyne.
Reported median body size for this species (Length mm; width micrometers; weight micrograms) - Click:
.Type Host: Lime (Citrus aurantifolia)
Ecophysiological Parameters:
Neem seedlings (Azadirachta indica) parasitized by M. indica had yellowing leaves and stunted root growth. Roots were heavily galled, mostly along the tap root, and there were fewlateral branches.
Meloidogyne. indica isolated from neem also infected citrus seedlings with galls and egg masses evident 35 days after inoculation (Phani et al., 2018).
