Figure 7. Carrot infected with Meloidogyne (the root-knot nematode) (Courtesy H.J. Jensen, used by permission of the Society of Nematologists). The root-knot nematode invades near the root meristem and often destroys it. Secondary roots emerge, resulting in a highly branched distorted root. This symptom is common for nematodes that damage the root meristem.
