Pitaya Genotypes by Eligio is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study evaluates the susceptibility of six pitaya genotypes to the root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica, which are significant agricultural pests in Brazil. All genotypes tested were found to be susceptible, with reproduction factors exceeding 1, indicating the need for further research to identify resistant varieties. The findings highlight the importance of genetic resistance as a viable strategy for nematode management in pitaya cultivation.
