Controlling of nematode parasitizing sugarbeet

Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) is an important arable crop, traditionally used for sugar extraction all over the world. Plant parasitic nematodes are considered as one of the most important plant pathogens, since these organisms play a detectable role in limiting the productivity of such economic agriculture crops i.e. sugarbeet . Sugarbeet plants are subjected to be attacked by several plant parasitic nematodes in many countries. In Egypt, several researches carried out a survey work in sugarbeet prouducting areas and recorded the presence of nine nematode, namely: Criconemoides, Ditylenchus myceliophagus ,Helicotylenchus dihystera, Heterodera sp. , Hoplolaimus sp., Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica , Paratylenchus sp., Rotylenchulus reniformis and Tylenchus spp . In recent years, sugarbeet is becoming an important crop in Egypt for supporting the expansion of Egyptian sugar industry, therefore efforts to protect the crop from the most destructive pests i.e. nematode and diseases are crucial. Nematological. Their wide host range and favorable environmental conditions provoked suitable control measure to achieve reasonable results.
