Abstract
Seventeen varieties of sugarbeet either as monogerm or multigerm were screened for their productivity and susceptibility or resistance against the infection by Meloidogyne javanica. All the tested varieties varied in the degree of nematode development and reproduction. Statistical differences in sugarbeet varieties are found between infected and non infected plants in yields of roots, leaves and sugar except, Barca, Pamela and Toro varieties which were not significantly damaged in all these parameters. All evaluated sugarbeet varieties were also significant decreased in percentages of sucrose, total soluble solids and purity except, Esperanza and Toro varieties which were not significantly decreased in total soluble solids and purity percentages, respectively. Four host categories systems were suggested in this study. Root damage index is an average of gall index, gall size and gall area. The combination of the nematode reproduction and root damage index is termed as susceptibility rate. Host vigor percentage is an average of root yield potential and sucrose and total soluble solids percentages. However, host-parasite index as a new term is suggested which expresses the amount of crop damage in yields (roots, leaves and sugar) and quality characters (sucrose, total soluble solids and purity percentages) by nematode infection. The host-parasite index is more suitable because of the generally high correlation between these parameters and crop damage. Thus the Barca and Gloria varieties were rated as a tolerant and Hilma and Helios as highly susceptible, 8 as moderately susceptible and 5 as low susceptible to M. javanica root-knot nematode infection in this investigation.
