Abstract

Thirty-two tomato cultivars, eleven cherry tomato cultivars and eight rootstock tomato cultivars were inoculated with Meloidogyne incognita, to evaluate tomato cultivars for resistance against root-knot nematodes. One tomato cultivar, Homerunking was proved to be resistant while eight cultivars such as Regendsummer, Regend, Sunmyung, Pinktop, Top3, Delice, Tasha and Lilyance were moderately resistant to the root-knot nematodes. Five cherry tomato cultivars (Tenten, Desert, Redstar, Veryking and Arigatto) showed moderate resistance and one cultivar (Redcherry) was resistant to root-knot nematodes. In eight rootstock tomato cultivars, two cultivars (Bukinghagae, Special) were resistant and five cultivars (B-blocking, Solution, Dongbanja and Greenpower) were moderate.
