Kasuri methi (Trigonella corniculata L.) also known as Nagauri pan fenugreek is a leguminous seed spice crop and dried leaves are used as a spice to add aroma, fibers and flavor to the food products. Soil and plant samples were collected from farmer's field of 5 village's viz., Inana (27007’41.5"N; 73049’24. 8′’E), Mundawa (27001’34.7"N; 73048’31.8"E), Kuchera (26059’14.89"N; 73058’15.89"E), Butati (26055’37.2"N; 73058’55.5"E) and Deshwal (26050’17.3"N; 73052’58.4"E) of Nagaur district of Rajasthan (India) on the basis of critical symptoms (yellowing, stunting, patchy growth, root galls and wilting) during 2019–2020. After processing and extraction of samples, it is found that all fields of Trigonella corniculata were highly infested with Meloidogyne incognita, Pratylenchus thornei and Xiphinema americanum. The population of the nematodes was identified on the basis of morphological characters and morphometrics.
