Weeds are one of the factors limiting agricultural production and are alternative hosts for root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). In this study, the host status of 14 weed species was evaluated against the root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita race1 and Meloidogyne incognita race2. According to the randomized plots trial design, the experiment was set up in an open area with 40% shade, with 5 replications. 1000 second-stage larvae were inoculated into pots containing weed species. At the end of the study, Lambs quarters (Chenopodium album L.), Goosegrass (Galium aparine L.), Prickly Lettuce (Lactuca serriola L.), Common mellow (Malva sylvestris L.), Canary Grass (Phalaris canariensis L.), Cutleaf groundcherry (Physalis angulata L.), Buckwheat (Polygonum aviculare L.), Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.), Curly dock (Rumex crispus L.) and World flora (Solanum nigrum L.) it was found susceptible to M. incognita race 1 and M. incognita race 2. Galium aparine L. was first identified as a host for M. incognita race 1 and M. incognita race 2. Knowing the weed hosts against root-knot nematodes can contribute positively to the determination of appropriate control methods.
