Comparison of Virulence of Some Isolates of the Sugar Beet Cyst Nematode (Heterodera schachtii) in Syria


Abstract in English

In this study, the virulence of six isolates of nematode Heterodera schachtii Shmidt which had isolated from fields in Syrian Governorates (Homs, Hamah, Idlib, Aleppo, Der-Azzoor and Arraqqa), was compared on sugar beet in a greenhouse pot experiment. Final populations of the nematode were calculated, RF (Reproduction factor) of the nematode were calculated for every isolate.
