Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is an important fruit crop and good source of income for Indian farmers. It’s infested with some major pests including plant parasitic nematodes. The number of plant parasitic nematode species associated with guava but some species are cause great losses. The accurate identification of nematode species is a basic key of successful management. Soil and plant samples collected from fields of guava from Arathwara village, Sheoganjtehsil, Sirohi district of Rajasthan, India on the GPS location 25003’40.7”N; 72058’05.0”E. The nematode population was identified on the basis of morphological characters and measurements of juvenile, mature female, male and perineal pattern. The all morphological characters of specimen were similar to original description of Meloidogyne enterolobii. The population status of root-knot nematode was ranging from 934 to 1376 juveniles per 200 cc soil. It is a first report of Meloidogyne enterolobii infested guava (Psidium guajava L.) in transitional plain of luni basin of Rajasthan.
