Figure 1:

Sweetpotato cv. Hernandez infected with Meloidogyne enterolobii. (A) Symptoms induced in the storage roots 90 days after nematode inoculation; (B) Necrosis and cracks of storage roots, induced by M. enterolobii; also, noticeable galls and egg masses on fibrous roots; (C) A close up of the galls and large egg masses on both fibrous and storage roots; and (D) Close up of necrosis and cracks in storage roots.
