Conteúdo: | Banana plants are susceptible to many potentialiy very injurious diseases and pests. Most of those affecting the upper external plant tissues can be adequately controlled with suitable fungicides, bactericides or insecticides. Root parasites or pathogens, however, once established in the soil are extremely difficult to eradicate or control. Even incases where an effective treatment exists, the cost of applications is often prohibitive. A good example of this burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, which lives on banana roots and rhizome tissue. This nematode is approximately 0.5 milimetre long when adult. It is known to be directly or indirectly responsible for the reduction of fruit yields by as much as 50 percent within 3 to 4 years after planting, and for increase in "tipover" loss of plants by up to 60 percent of the total plant population (2,4,5,9,10). This species has been reported in many parts of the world, ineluding South and central America (3,4,8,10). In Mexico, it has been found in Chiapas State, but spot sampling of banana areas in Tabasco, Veracruz and Oaxaca States has not so far revealed the presence of R. similis (2).
