Meloidogyne chitwoodi is a plant pathogenic root-knot nematode that is a crop pest of potatoes, carrots, and black salsify. Root-knot nematodes such as M. chitwoodi cause the production of root-knot galls when their larvae infect the plant's roots and capture nutrients stored in the roots.

Morphological Features

Body pearly white, globular to pear-shaped, with slight posterior protuberance occasionally and a distinct neck situated anteriorly on a median plane with terminal vulva. Perineal pattern distinctive: striae around and above the anal area are broken, curved, twisted, or curled; pattern round to oval, sometimes with inner striae forming an arch. Vulva sunken in an area devoid of striae. Small vesicles present in median bulb, clustered around lumen anterior to valve plates. Stylet small but strong with dorsal curvature and rounded knobs sloping posteriorly. Males slender, vermiform, tapering at both ends (length 887–1268 µm), with large labial disc and a postlabial annule not divided into annules; spicules arcuate with dentate tips. Second-stage juveniles (J2) length 336–417 µm, tail short and blunt with a hyaline terminal having little or no taper to its rounded terminus; lateral field with four lines.
