Meloidogyne pini Eisenback, Yang & Hartman, 1985

Review general characteristics of the genus Meloidogyne.

Morphology and Anatomy:

Reported median body size for this species (Length mm; width micrometers; weight micrograms) - Click:

Distribution:

Reported from stunted sand pine trees in a commercial planmtation in Georgia, USA

Feeding:

Sedentary endoparasite.

Feeding site establishment and development typical of genus.

Hosts:

Type Host: Sand-pine (Pinus clausa). Some other pines appear to be poor hosts and the plants of the North Carolina Differential Host Test were non-hosts.
