Abstract: This is an extension guide on recognising and managing the coffee root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne konaensis, causing Kona coffee nematode decline. The disease affects coffee plants in the Kona region of Hawaii. Severely affected trees are stunted and unthrifty, have thin and wobbly stems and are easily uprooted by hand. Branches are dying or declining, the leaves are yellowing, brown and/or wilting, and the roots are galled, swollen, corky, and rotten.
