Plant Parasitic Nematodes Associated With Sugarcane In St. Kitts

In 1982, an evaluation was undertaken of the plant parasitic nematodes associated with sugarcane in St. Kitts. Eleven plaint parasitic nematode genera were found, viz., Pratylenchus, Heticotvtenchus, Mclcropsthonia, Xipbineme, Me/oidogvne, Paratyle nchus, Tylenchorhynchus, Paratricodorus, Hemicriconemoides, Longidorus and Hoplolaimus. The average number of nematodes per 200 c c soil sample ranged from 210 to 680 with an overall average of 406. Nematode population densities were influenced by varieties, the number of ratoons and the nematicide. ----- En el a'no 1982, se llevo' a cabo una evaluaci6n de los nemlitodos asociados con la cana de azucar, en St. Kitts. Once gefteros de nernaiodos fitoparasiiicos, se encontraron, como ser: Pretvlencbus, Hetico tvtencbus, Macropsthonia, Xtpnlnems, Me/oidogyne, Paraty/enchus, Tvlenchorhynchus, Peretricodorus, Hemicriconemoides, Longidorus y Hoploleirnus. La cantidad media de nematodes pOI 200 cc de suelo fut de los 210 a 680 con un total medio de 406, La densidad de nem!todos futinfluenciada por: las variedades, el nGmero de retoiios l' el nernatocfda.
