DISEASE NOTES OR NEW RECORDS: First record of Meloidogyne fallax in Australia

Current occurrence and prevalence of root-knot nematodes species, Meloidogyne spp. Goeldi, 1892 (Tylenchida: Meloidogynidae) in ware potato fields of Turkey

“…The damage of RKN to potatoes has been determined in all continents except Antarctica, including the major potato producing countries including China (Mao et al, 2019), India (Singh & Kumar, 2015), the USA (Golden et al, 1980), Germany (Müller et al, 1996), France (Djian-Caporalino, 2012), Holland (Keidel et al, 2007), South Africa (Fourie et al, 2001), and Australia (Nobbs et al, 2001). In potato production, M. arenaria, Meloidogyne enterolobii Yang & Eisenback, 1983, M. incognita and M. javanica and are present in warmer climates, while M. chitwoodi, M. fallax, M. hapla and Meloidogyne minor Karssen et al, 2004 are encountered in relatively colder climates (Nyczepir et al, 1982;Nobbs et al, 2001;Thoden et al, 2012;Onkendi & Moleleki, 2013;Medina et al, 2017). Of these, M. arenaria, M. chitwoodi, M. fallax, M. hapla, M. incognita and M. javanica are significant for potato production (Lima et al, 2018).…”

Occurrence of Meloidogyne fallax in North America, and Molecular Characterization of M. fallax and M. minor from U.S. Golf Course Greens

“…In (15). It has since been found on potato in the Netherlands, France, New Zealand, Aus-tralia, and South Africa (7,11,18,21). A study in the Netherlands was conducted to evaluate the host range of several crops for M. minor and its damage potential in potato fields (26).…”

Meloidogyne chitwoodi and Meloidogyne fallax

“…It was also found in a plastic tunnel in France (Daher et al ., 1996). It has so far been detected outside Europe in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa (Marshall et al ., 2001; Nobbs et al ., 2001; Fourie et al ., 2001). Another close related species was described from potato in 2004 as M. minor .…”
