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.
