Meloidogyne spp. is the cause of dwarf symptoms, yellowing, wilting and the formation of bumps on the roots of tomatoes which leads to decreased production of quality and quantity of tomatoes. Observation of nematode life cycle is important to design an effective and efficient control strategy, by knowing the life cycle of Meloidogyne spp. can be known how to control and when the right application time to control the parasite Meloidogyne spp. Inoculation of nematode eggs is done by pouring a suspension containing 300 nematode eggs around tomato roots. Observation of the life cycle of nematodes in the roots was done by the method of tissue staining Byrd et al, (1983).
