Nacobbus aberrans is responsible for producing important losses in the production ofnumerous crops in America. In pepper plants the analysis focused on the morphologicaland biochemical changes produced in tissues by the mechanic and enzymatic damage that N. aberrans provokes when entering the root. Pepper plants were transplanted in pots with tindalized soil, were placed in a greenhouse and inoculated with five thousand eggs of N. aberrans. Five months after the transplant, a significant reduction in growth was observed in the inoculated plants (p
