The susceptibility and sensitivity to Radopholus similis and Helicotylenchus multicintus of 2-month-old plants derived from sword suckers (early screening) and of sword suckers of established 18-month-old mats belonging to 12 Musa genotype was investigated and compared. Differences in nematode po...

Nematode reproduction and damage to Musa sword suckers and sword sucker derived plants
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...

Evaluation of Musa host plant response using nematode densities and damage indices
The predominant nematode species found on plantain in southern Nigeria was Helicotylenchus multicinctus which occurred at all 68 sites sampled. Hoplolaimus pararobustus, Pratylenchus coffeae and Radopholus similis were found at 64, 50 and 46% of the sites, respectively, while Meloidogyne spp. sec...
