The PI accessions were compared to the susceptible check, HM WSPM9. Experimental designwas randomized block with five replications. Sugar beet seedlings were separated from soil eightweeks after planting (09 July). Beet cyst nematode females and cysts were enumerated from the roots and soil. An analysis of variance was performed on the data, and mean separation was computed using the least significant difference. A numeric score of 0 to 9 was assigned to each accession (0 = immune, 9 = highly susceptible).
