described by Handoo et al. (2004), parasitizing M. incognita- and M. javanica-resistant peach rootstocks in Florida (Nyczepir and Thomas, 2009; Smith et al., 2015). The nematode was given the common name peach root-knot nematode. Further studies have shown that several other horticultural crops, e.g. tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) (Brito et al., 2015; Stanley et al., 2009), are hosts for this root-knot nematode species, while marigold (Tagetes spp.) was reported as a nonhost (Kokalis-Burelle and Nyczepir

The peach root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne floridensis, is recognized as an emerging pathogen of commercial peach production because of its capability to overcome root-knot nematode resistance in rootstocks. This nematode was first described in Florida where it was found in 16 counties (Brito et al., 2015; Brito pers.comm). Although it was reported to infect peaches in 1966, the peach root-knot nematode was only described as a new species in 2004 (Handoo et al., 2004). In Florida, M. floridensis
