Conteúdo: | East African Highland cooking banana (Musa AAA-EA) and beer banana (Musa AAA-EA, ABB and AB) are the major staple in the east African highland region (Flinn and Hoyoux, 1976; Wilson, 1987). Uganda dominates this region, and Africa as a whole, being the response to a decline in production, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and the Ugandan National Banana research Programme have carried out a diagnostic survey to determine production constraints of banana as part of a banana production improvement program (Karamura et al., 1994; Gold et al., this proceedings). Plant parasitic nematodes and the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, have been associated with production decline (Sebasigari and Stover, 1988; Gold et al.; 1994). A complex of plantparasitic nematodes has been reported as a major constraint of banana in Uganda (Kashaija et al., 1994). The pest affects banana growth and yield through its damage to the root system and rhizome. Plant parasitic nematodes feed, multiply and migrate in the roots (Bridge 1988; Sarah, 1989). Secondary infection by fungi enhances the process of root necrosis (Gowen et al., 1990, Speijer and Sikora, 1990; Speijer, 1993).Plants with necrotic roots are less able to take up water and nutrients, resulting in stunted plants, reduced bunch size, delayed maturation time and/or reduced tolerance to other stresses.
