Abstract
The Featured Creatures collection provides in-depth profiles of insects, nematodes, arachnids and other organisms relevant to Florida. These profiles are intended for the use of interested laypersons with some knowledge of biology as well as academic audiences.
Rice root-knot disease is caused by different Meloidogyne species (Meloidogyne graminicola, M. hainanensis, M. incognita, M. javanica, M. arenaria, M. oryzae, M. salasi, and M. tryticoryzae). However, Meloidogyne graminicola is considered the most damaging root-knot species to Asian rice cultivation due to its ability to survive under flooded soil conditions. This nematode has been found in rice nurseries, rainfed upland rice and lowland rice but is also widespread in deep-water, irrigated rice production systems. Yield loss due to Meloidogyne graminicola ranges from 28%–87% depending on disease severity and cultivar.
