The goal of this work was to determinate the Meloidogyne javanica reproduction factor on vegetable crops (Allium porrum, A. schoenoprasum, Beta vulgaris, Brassica spp., Capsicum spp., Coriandrum sativum, Daucus carota, Lactuca sativa, Petroselinum crispum and Raphanus sativus) and on plants used as green manure (Cajanus cajan, Crotalaria breviflora, C. juncea, C. mucronata, C. ochroleuca, C. spectabilis, Dolichos lalab, Helianthus annuus, Lollium multiflorum, M. aterrima, M. cinereum, Mucuna deeringiana, Pennisetum glaucum and Raphanus sativus). The experiments were carried out in a greenhouse during 60 days. The substrate infestation was made with 5,000 eggs and possible second stage juveniles of M. javanica. The immune plants to M. javanica were: P. crispum 'Portuguesa', Brassica spp. 'Bruxelas and 'Tronchuda Portuguesa', Capsicum spp. 'Dedo de Moça', 'Malagueta', 'Doce Italiana', 'Jalapeño M', 'Amarela Comprida', 'Cambuci', 'Dagmar', 'Casca Dura Ikeda', 'Magna Super', 'Silver' and 'AF 8253'. The resistant plants were: L. sativa 'Roxa', A. schoenoprasum 'Tokyo' and 'Nebuka', A. porrum 'Poró Gigante', P. crispum 'Lisa Comum', D. carota 'Brasília', L. multiflorum, C. spectabilis, C. juncea, C. breviflora, H. annuus 'Uruguai', C. cajan 'Iapar 43', P. glaucum and M. aterrima.
