Abstract
With the expansion of passion fruit cultivation in Brazil, phytosanitary problems have increased, among them, the occurrence of root-knot nematodes. This research aimed to study the response of passion fruit genotypes to Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica and M. enterolobii in addition to evaluating the life cycle of M. enterolobii in the passion fruit genotype ‘FB 200’. The genotype response was carried out in a greenhouse. Each pot’s soil was inoculated with 5000 eggs. Gall index, egg mass index and nematode reproduction factors were evaluated at 120 days after inoculation. All genotypes studied were resistant to M. incognita, M. javanica and M. enterolobii, except ‘Roxinho do Kênia’, which was susceptible to the three nematode species. The life cycle of M. enterolobii in “FB 200” passion fruit was studied in a growth chamber at 26 °C with a photoperiod of 12 h. Seven days after transplantation, each plant was inoculated with approximately 400 second-stage juveniles. Evaluations were done at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49 days post inoculation. The nematode did not complete its life cycle.
