11 February 2025Guava root-knot nematode (GRKN, Meloidogyne enterolobii) was detected in Australia in late 2022. Thismicroscopic pest, primarily found in tropical regions, has rapidly spread around the world and is among themost damaging species of root-knot nematodes (RKN). In Australia, it has been identified in residentialgardens and commercial farms in the Northern Territory and a few restricted sites in Queensland. Itspotential spread in Australia is uncertain, and its wide host range and lack of resistant cultivars mean thatdamage can be severe, making it more difficult to control.
