Meloidogyne naasi (Barley root-knot nematode, Cereal root-knot nematode) is a plant pathogenic nematode, and also an invasive species. The nematode occurs as the primary root-knot pathogen on golf courses and turf in the Northeast United States, although it is unclear as to whether the pathogen is native or introduced.
