  abstract = {{C}urrent restrictions on the use of chemical nematicides have led to an increase in root-knot nematode ({RKN}) damages in horticultural crops. {T}he effects of two sorghums as summer cover crops, {S}orghum sudanense sudangrass cv. '{P}iper' or sudangrass hybrid [{S}. bicolor x {S}. sudanense] '270911', respectively with low and high dhurrin contents, were compared in their ability to suppress {RKN} in a vegetable production system. {T}he use of both sorghums '{P}iper' and '270911' as a green manure was found to be an effective strategy for decreasing {RKN} infestation in the soil, thereby protecting the subsequent planting of {RKN} susceptible crops (chard, lettuce or melon). {A}nalytical experiments were further conducted in growth chamber and greenhouse pot experiments to investigate and compare the susceptibility of the sorghums and the factors affecting their efficacy for {RKN} management, in order to better explain the results obtained in the field trial. {T}he two sorghums were poor hosts of {RKN}, acted as trap crops and as a biofumigant releasing hydrogen cyanide. {T}ime of planting, time of biofumigation, and type of soil affected their efficacy for {RKN} management. {F}or best {RKN} suppression, the sorghum cover crops need to be cultivated during one month or less and biofumigated for one month prior to crop planting. {T}he trapping effect of both sorghums in clayey soil was less efficient than in sandy or sandy-loamy soils. {C}ombining less than 30-days of sorghum culture and 10-days soil incorporation with solarization mulch was particularly efficient in suppressing nematodes. {N}o effect relative to the sorghum type was detectable as long as they were used appropriately.},
