Heterodera medicaginis, the alfalfa cyst nematode, is a plant pathogenic nematode which is cited as an invasive species. It is closely allied to Heterodera daverti, H. glycines and H. sonchophila in the H. schachtii-group. The only known host plant of this obligate parasite is the important crop alfalfa or lucerne, Medicago sativa.()
