nematodes in three declining peach orchards in Edgefield County, South Carolina, several plant parasitic nematodes including a RKN were found in soil and root samples. Excavated roots of Prunus persica showed strong gall symptoms (Fig. 1). Nematode species identification was performed using both morphological and molecular methods at the Plant Pest Diagnostics Center, California Department of Food and Agriculture, Sacramento, California. The RKN was identified as Meloidogyne floridensis in samples from

The peach tree (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is the third most cultivated temperate fruit species in Brazil. In August 2017, peach seedlings showing symptoms of stunting and multiple galls on the roots (Fig. 1A) were detected in a nursery in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Samples of peach roots were collected and subsequently processed (Hussey and Barker, 1973) to obtain eggs and second-stage juveniles (J2) to determine the number of nematodes per gram of roots and to for morphological

Florida growers are considering peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch) (Sharpe, 1967) as a viable alternative crop because of the availability of several quality low-chill peach cultivars well-adapted to the subtropical climate and the unique advantage of an early-season market (Olmstead et al., 2015). Peach rootstocks with root-knot nematode (RKN) resistance, a necessary component for the productivity and longevity of an orchard, have primarily been developed in rootstock breeding programs. The
