Diseased cucumber plants with symptoms of decline and root knots were collected from a crop in the municipality of Faxinal do Soturno, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Morphological (perineal patterns), biochemical (esterase phenotypes) and molecular (D2–D3 region) studies allowed to identify parasitizing nematodes, such as Meloidogyne arenaria. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Meloidogyne arenaria on Cucumber in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.
