The eggplant Solanum melongena ‘Cristal’, either ungrafted or grafted onto theSolanum torvum ‘Brutus’ rootstock, was cultivated for two consecutive years in the same plots in a plastic greenhouse to assess the level of resistance to Meloidogyne incognitaand crop yield. At the end of the second crop, the putative selection for virulence of the nema-tode subpopulations coming from infected ungrafted and grafted eggplant was assessed in the eggplant and inS. torvumin a pot experiment. Nematode population densities at transplantation in 2017 ranged from 2 to 378 100 cm 3of soiland did not differ between ungrafted and grafted eggplant.
