- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation (50%) had no significant effect on weed control in banana compared with full irrigation (100%).
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation (50%) affected nematode populations in banana compared with full irrigation (100%), particularly in the second year.
- Intervention effect Herbicide combinations (indaziflam, oxyfluorfen+glyphosate and pendimethalin+glyphosate) suppressed nematodes in banana during the first 6 months compared with weedy control plots.
- Intervention effect Diquat herbicide reduced nematodes in banana before harvest compared with weedy control plots.
- Intervention effect Geotextile mulching suppressed weeds in banana compared with weedy control plots.
- Intervention effect Geotextile mulching affected nematode populations in banana compared with weedy control plots.
- Association In the second year, nematode populations in banana differed as a function of weed coverage.
- Recommendation Managing weed hosts is important for controlling nematodes in banana production.
