Plant-parasitic nematodes cause serious damage on banana in Africa. Affected plants are less able to access nutrients and water, leading to yield losses, particularly under nutrient- and water-stressed conditions. Heavily affected plants often topple, with consequent total loss of bunches, while ...

Preempting plantparasitic nematode losses on banana in Africa: which species do we target?
The pathogenicity of five plant-parasitic nematode species, Radopholus similis, Pratylenchus coffeae, Helicotylenchus multicinctus, Hoplolaimus pararobustus and Meloidogyne spp., commonly recorded from banana and plantain in West and Central Africa, was assessed on plantain (Musa spp., AAB genome...

Pathogenicity and damage potential of five species of plantparasitic nematodes on plantain (Musa spp., AAB genome) cv. Agbagba
A new root-lesion nematode, particularly pathogenic to Musa spp. and causing important plantain losses in Ghana, is described and named Pratylenchus speijeri n. sp. The cryptic status of this species within the P. coffeae species complex has been assessed and confirmed in this study. An extensive...
