Abstract The Root-Knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita
was identified morphologically from diseased Bitter Melon
root samples taken from a farm at Buckley Road, Humpty
Doo, Darwin. Meloidogyne species have been recorded
from the Northern Territory on various hosts including bitter
melon, but none were identified to species, so this is the first
report confirming Meloidogyne incognita on Bitter Melon
from the Northern Territory, Australia
