Species of root-knot nematodes (RKNs) from 19 fields were surveyed in Oita Prefecture, Japan. Four to 106 second-stage juveniles or female adults were collected from field soil samples and RKN species were identified individually by PCR-RFLP method. As a result, thirteen RKN populations were Meloidogyne incognita, three were M. arenaria, one was M. microcephala, one was a mixed population of M. incognita and M. hapla, and one was a mixed population of M. incognita and M. arenaria. Populations of M. incognita obtained from three tomato fields infected a RKN-resistant tomato variety.
