Chapter II | Key Pests and Pathogens of Banana | Plant-Parasitic Nematodes
Three migratory endoparasitic nematodes that feed on the root cortex of banana plants are the burrowing (Radopholus similis), spiral (Helicotylenchus multicinctus), and lesion (Pratylenchus spp.) nematodes. Their feeding results in dead root cells, or lesions (Fig.2-6A).

Radopholus similis is a species of nematode known commonly as the burrowing nematode. [1] It is a parasite of plants, and it is a pest of many agricultural crops. It is an especially important pest of bananas, and it can be found on coconut, avocado, coffee, sugarcane, other grasses, and …
Chapter V | IPM Strategies against Plant-Parasitic Nematodes on Banana
Using known nematode-free banana plantlets for planting material is an important mechanism to ensure that nematodes are not being spread around an infected field or introduced to a new field.
Integrated Management Of Banana Nematodes | SpringerLink
Current nematode management strategies focus on the use of clean planting material, fallow and alternate croppings, application of mulching and fertilisers. Future and common strategies include best plant health measures, the identification of sources of resistance and plant defence mechanisms, including transgenic resistance.

Banana nematodes cause yield losses of up to 30-60% in many countries. Roots damaged by nematodes cannot supply plants with needed water and nutrients. This can slow plant growth, lengthen the time to fruiting, reduce bunch weight, and decrease the productive life of the farm.
Radopholus similis - Improving the understanding of banana
Radopholus similis, or burrowing nematode, is one of the most damaging and widespread nematodes attacking bananas, causing toppling or blackhead disease. It is considered to be the main nematode problem of intensive commercial bananas, especially Cavendish types.
