Musa pest fact sheet on the root lesion nematodes of banana : Pratylenchus coffeae and Pratylenchus goodeyi. It describes the latest information on the distribution and symptoms of these parasites of Musa and their control and invites collaboration in ongoing research.
Host plant response of seven Musa accessions to Radophlus similis and helicotylenchus multicintus was evaluated at Namulonge, Uganda.Suckers detached from first cycle harvested plants grown in inoculated and not inoculated fields were indexed for root and corm damage. Nematodes were extracted fro...

The burrowing nematode of bananas Radopholus similis
In most regions of the world, nematodes are recognized as important pests of bananas. Because banana nematodes attack the root and/or corm tissues, plant growth and yield are affected. The objective of these technical guidelines is to stimulate interest in nematode resistance and tolerance screen...
