Papaya ( Carica papaya L.) is susceptible to attacks by root-knot nematodes (RKN), which lead to significant production losses. Understanding the life cycle of RKN in papaya is essential for developing effective control strategies and screening for natural resistance in papaya cultivars. In this stu...
