Based on morphology, esterase phenotypes, and species-specific sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) sequences, the causal agent was identified as Meloidogyne incognita. Pathogenicity was confirmed using a modified version of Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first report of M. incognita infecting the roots of the weed A. palmeri in Uruguay. aMALEZAS aEST phenotype aMolecular analyses aRHIZOSPHERE aRoot-knot nematodes1 aGARCIA, A.1 aBELLÉ, C. tRhizosphere, Volume 19, September 2021, 100400.
