Abstract Alnem rootstocks constitute a series of cultivars of bitter almond ( Prunus amygdalus Batch var. amara ) resistant to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica Chitwood. Root-knot nematodes are a great hazard to almond trees in warm climates, especially on light and medium irrigated soils. To the best of our knowledge, no other source of resistance in almond has been reported.
