Abstrakt: Root-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogynespp., have a wide host range and are common in the Mediterranean area. Cultivated lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) was found naturally infested by M. haplain Kozani area, the first documented infestation of this crop by RKN in Greece. Oxalis pescaprae, a common winter weed in Crete, was found to be a host of M. javanicaunder artificial inoculation. This weed acts as a potential winter host of the nematode in fields cultivated with vegetable crops. Two populations of M. ethiopicawere found in kiwi and maize in Greece in the past. Recently, populations of M. ethiopicafrom Europe were re-classified as M. luci,based only on the population isolated from kiwi for Greece. In the current work, the RKN populations originating from kiwi and maize and maintained on tomato, were identified as M. luci.Nematode species identification was determined by electrophoretic analysis of protein extracts obtained from females.
