Meloidogyne nematodes, more commonly known as root-knot nematodes, constitute one of the most devastating groups of plant-parasitic nematodes in global agriculture. They attack various crops, causing root galls (knots), weakening plant vigor and substantially reducing yields. Globally, these nematodes are recognized for their adaptability, wide host range, prolific reproduction, and resilience, making their management a significant challenge for producers and researchers. Their feeding induces physiological, morphological, and biochemical changes in host plants, making them more susceptible to other pathogens and environmental stresses.
