Abstract
Plant-parasitic nematodes of sugar crops like sugar beet and sugarcane have been variously reported to be associated with decline in sugar production. This chapter focuses on the parasitic nematodes of sugarcane (species of Pratylenchus, Meloidogyne, Helicotylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, and Hoplolaimus) and sugar beet (Heterodera schachtii, Meloidogyne spp.). The symptoms of damage, their economic importance, and measures for their management are discussed. The effective nematode management strategies that can improve yield in sugar crops include cultural and chemical control methods, host plant resistance, and integrated nematode management.
