Infestation parameters of susceptible untreated (CONTR), susceptible salicylic acid‐treated (+SA) and resistant (RES) tomato plants, 7 weeks after inoculation with 300 Meloidogyne incognita invasive juveniles (J2s). (a) Egg masses per gram of root fresh weight (EM/g root FW). (b) Reproduction index (indicating the level of nematode reproduction) is expressed as eggs per gram of root fresh weight (eggs/g root FW). (c) Sedentary forms per gram of root fresh weight (SF/g root FW) represent the number of sedentary individuals, belonging to two parasite generations, and counted according to root biomass. Values are expressed as averages ± SD (n = 18). Asterisks indicate that the means of values belonging to SA‐treated and control plants are significantly different, as determined by t‐test (P < 0.05).
