Response of some cultivars of pepper, eggplant and tomato to races of Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica, under artificial inoculation conditions, was evaluated. All cultivars (10) of eggplant were susceptible to M. incognita and M. javanica races. Some cultivars of pepper and tomato exhibited race specific resistance with variable response depending upon the race and species of the nematode involved. Selection of cultivars for planting according to their known responses have been discussed.
