Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are polyphagous pests with far-reaching consequences in agriculture. Minuscule metazoans have established their presence worldwide, adapting to diverse climatic conditions spanning tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones. Extensive study of the Meloidogyne genus is driven by its wide dispersion and considerable economic toll, leading to substantial declines in crop yields. Consequently, these nematodes are categorized as among the most deleterious plant parasites, highlighting their pivotal roles in agriculture. The observable symptoms on the aboveground parts of afflicted plants bear resemblance to those typically associated with mineral deficiencies or drought stress. This similarity can be attributed to the gradual deterioration of the capacity of the affected roots to execute vital functions such as nutrient and water absorption, as well as subsequent transport. This root dysfunction persists even in cases where the fields receive ample nutrients and moisture. To counteract the impact of nematodes on crop plants, incorporation of a diverse range of organic amendments into the soil has emerged as a potential strategy.
