R. Fogain; Éric Fouré; Catherine Abadie Agritrop (Cirad) 1998
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Several nematode species were isolated from banana and plantain roots.
- Observation Four nematode taxa were the most important in roots.
- Observation R. similis dominated below 500 m elevation.
- Observation P. goodeyi was most important above 1000 m elevation.
- Observation Cylindrocladium was the sole pathogenic fungus isolated from commercial banana root samples.
- Observation Root damage in most plantations ranged from moderate to severe.
- Intervention effect R. similis significantly reduced plantlet growth in pots.
- Intervention effect Combined nematode and fungal inoculation caused more damage than either alone.
- Mechanism The authors attribute commercial banana root parasitism in Cameroon to a nematode–fungus complex.
