Abstract: The existence of a dilaton (or moduli) with gravitational-strength coupling to matter imposes stringent constraints on the allowed energy scale of cosmic strings, $eta$. In particular, superheavy gauge strings with $etasim10^{16}GeV$ are ruled out unless the dilaton mass $m_{phi}gsim100TeV$, while the currently popular value $m_{phi}sim1TeV$ imposes the bound $etalsim3imes10^{11}GeV$. Similar constraints are obtained for global topological defects. Some non-standard cosmological scenarios which can avoid these constraints are pointed out.
