Abstract

Similar host ranges were found for Heterodera schachtii and a race of H. trifolii parasitic on sugarbeet in The Netherlands. Twenty-nine of 41 plant accessions evaluated were susceptible to H. trifolii. Five breeding lines of the interspecific hybrid Beta vulgaris-B. procumbens which are resistant to H. schachtii were highly susceptible to H. trifolii. An accession of B. maritima with partial resistance to H. schachtii was resistant to H. trifolii. Key words: clover cyst nematode, sugarbeet nematode, Chenopodiaceae, Cruciferae, susceptibility.
