Radopholus similis, Helicotylenchus multicinctus and Meloidogyne spp. are among the major nematode pests of banana worldwide. Nematode management through exploitation of genetic sources of resistance is widely encouraged, especially in resource poor countries. A number of hybrids have been develo...

Soil population densities of Helicotylenchus multicinctus (Cobb) Golden were assessed under
Flemingia macrophylla [(Willd.) Merrill] and Pueraria phaseoloides (Roxb.) Benth, and natural
bush fallows over 24 months in three villages in southern Cameroon. Also assessed was the effect
of H. multicin...

Two major biotic constraints to highland cooking
banana (Musa spp., genome group AAA-EA) production in
Uganda are the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus and
the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis. Endophytic

The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a serious threat to sustainable banana production worldwide. A promising method for nematode control is the development and deployment of nematode-resistant banana cultivars. This requires the identification of sources of resistance, which can then b...

Studies have been carried out to examine ecological factors that influence spread of Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) at mid altitudes in Uganda (800-1500masl) and at high altitudes in D.R. Congo (>1800 masl). In both areas the susceptible cultivar Pisang Awak is most popularly grown for brewing, an...

Endophytic non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum isolates are known to control Radopholus similis through induced resistance. Using complementary (c)DNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP), we identified genes induced in nematode-susceptible and -tolerant bananas following colonization...
