Chromadorea Rhabditida Tylenchina Tylenchoidea Meloidogynidae Meloidogyninae
Meloidogyne inornata Lordello, 1956
Synonymized with M. incognita by Jepson ,(1987) and Eisenback and Triantaphyllou (1991) based on morphological features. However, a comprehensive study by Carneiro et al (2008) confirmed the validoty of M. inornata (Subbtin et al.,2021).
Synonyms:
Meloidogyne incognita inornata (Lordello, 1956)
Review general characteristics of the genus Meloidogyne.
Reported median body size for this species (Length mm; width micrometers; weight micrograms) - Click:
Brazil, Guatemala
Sedentary endoparasite.
Feeding site establishment and development typical of genus.
Type Host: soybean (Glycine max)
Soybean, Coffee
Ecophysiological Parameters:
Chromosome number 2n=54-58. The large number, and variability of chromosome number, and the triploid chromosome number, are typical of species reproducing by obligate mitotic parthenogenesis. (Carneira et al., 2008; Subbotin et al., 2021; Triantaphyllou, 1985).
Root galling
