Nemátodos fitoparásitos en el cultivo de la caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum) en el Ecuador”.

Sugar cane, belonging to the Poaceae family, is the source of sugar, one of the most consumed foods in the world. The objective set for this work was: Describe the phytoparasitic nematodes in sugarcane cultivation in Ecuador. A qualitative and descriptive approach to the methodology was developed, and information was collected from up-to-date sources for the creation of this report. Websites, journals, scientific papers, online library resources, and any relevant reference materials to advance this study. The results obtained regarding phytoparasitic nematodes in sugarcane are Pratylenchus spp. and Meloidogyne spp. In Ecuador, nematodes damage the root system of sugarcane by injecting toxins, which causes deformations (Meloidogyne spp) and necrosis (Pratylenchus spp). Damage not only reduces crop production, but also reduces its quality; Pratylenchus spp. It lives inside the roots and emerges when the root is completely decomposed, either as a consequence of the damage caused or simply to migrate to other roots, causing damage through the cortical tissue by breaking the cell wall; carbofuran-based chemical nematicides at doses of 5 kgha are usually the most effective way to control high levels of Meloidogyne spp. It is concluded that in Ecuador the presence of phytoparasitic nematodes damages the root system of sugarcane by injecting toxins, which causes deformations (Meloidogyne spp) and necrosis (Pratylenchus spp) and therefore decreases crop yield.
