ABSTRACT
Sugar beet (
Beta vulgaris
L.) is considered an important sugar crop in Egypt and the world and it is highly infested by
Meloidogyne incognita.
This nematode causes damage to epiderm, cortex and stele regions including giant cells in these regions that
then reflect on the water and nutrient absorption. As a result, sugar beet produces a poor yield. The obtained results can be summarized as follows: 1 – in general, all plant residues, biofertilizer and organic compost alone or in combination with biocides significantly
reduced the number of nematode juveniles (J
2
) in soil, number of galls and eggmasses in roots. All plant residues, biofertilizer and
organic compost alone or in combination with biocides also significantly increased the studied sugar beet growth and technological
characteristics as percentage sucrose, total soluble solids and juice purity. 2 – adding plant residues, organic compost (OC), nile fertile
(NF) and biocides alone in the soil gave significant reduction in the number of juveniles in the soil, the galls and the eggmasses on
sugar beet roots. In the greenhouse, bionema (B) proved to be the most effective material causing significant reduction (91.0, 81.3 and
83.2%, for respective nematode criteria). Also, organic compost caused a reduction of 86.3, 75.0 and 80.0% for the respective nematode criteria followed by dry leaves of fleabane (F), nemaless (N), mud sugar beet (M), nile fertile (NF) and dry leaves of sugar beet
(S), respectively. The best results (92.3, 82.5 and 84.6) were given by 3 – combination of B+NF in reducing the nematode parameter
followed by B+M, B+OC, B+S and B+F, respectively. A significant reduction of nematode parameters in this study was provided by
4 – combination of N+F, followed by N+M, N+NF, N+OC and N+S. Under field conditions, after three months, bionema proved to be
the most effective material causing significant reduction (55.6, 67.9, 78.5 and 57%) in number of: juveniles in the soil, females, galls
on sugar beet roots and rate of nematode build-up, respectively. After six months, a combination of B+M gave the best results (82.3,
70.8, 78.3, 84.1 and 81.1%) in reducing the nematode parameter. These results show how improved plant growth and technological
characteristics help reduce the nematode
Meloidogyne incognita
