Potato represents Egypt’s largest vegetable export crop. Many plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are globally inflicting damage to potato plants. In Egypt, their economic significance considerably varies according to PPN distribution, population levels, and pathogenicity. This review article highlights the biology, ecology, and economic value of the PPN control viewpoint. The integration of biological control agents (BCAs), as sound and safe potato production practice, with other phytosanitary measures to manage PPNs is presented for sustainable agriculture. A few cases of BCA integration with such other options as synergistic/additive PPN management measures to upgrade crop yields are reviewed. Yet, various attributes of BCAs should better be grasped so that they can fit in at the emerging and/or existing integrated management strategies of potato pests. A few inexpensive biocontrol products, for PPNs control on potato, versus their corresponding costly chemical nematicides are gathered and listed for consideration. Hence, raising awareness of farmers for making these biologicals familiar and easy to use will promote their wider application while offering safe and increased potato yield.

埃及马铃薯线虫综合治理中的生物防治剂

马铃薯是埃及最大的蔬菜出口作物。全球许多植物寄生线虫（PPN）对马铃薯植物造成损害。在埃及，它们的经济意义根据PPN分布，人口水平和致病性而有很大差异。本文将重点介绍PPN控制观点的生物学，生态和经济价值。为可持续农业提出了将生物防治剂（BCA）作为合理和安全的马铃薯生产实践与其他植物检疫措施一起管理PPN的建议。审查了BCA与其他方案（例如增效/增效PPN管理措施以提高农作物产量）整合的一些案例。然而，应该更好地掌握BCA的各种属性，以便它们能够适应正在出现的和/或现有的马铃薯害虫综合治理策略。收集并列出了一些便宜的生物防治产品，用于控制马铃薯上的PPN，以及它们相应的昂贵化学杀线虫剂。因此，提高农民对这些生物的熟悉度和易用性的意识将促进其更广泛的应用，同时提供安全且增加的马铃薯产量。
