Abstract


The root -knot nematode especially Meloidogyne incognita is known as a sugar beet pest in many regions of Egypt. The tolerance limit (the level of the initial nematode population below which damage is not measurable) as well as estimating of yield losses caused by M. incognita on sugar beet were not determined under field condions of Egypt. Accordingly, two sugar beet cultivars "Oscarpoly" and "Raspoly" were tested under greenhouse and field conditions. In the greenhouse test, no relation between plant growth or total soluble solids (TSS) and nematodes inoculum level was found for both cultivars, up to 10J2/g soil, when infestation occurred 30 days after germination. Under field conditions, the two cultivars tolerated nematode infestation up to 10 J2 /g soil, when infestation occurred 30 days after germination. At an infestation level of 15 J2/g soil, the growth parameters were significantly decreased for cv "Oscarpoly" but not for "Raspoly", but the TSS (%). was not affected in both cultivars.
