“…In the current study, nematode root damage effects were most profound on the yield of "FHIA17" and moderate for the east African highland cultivars "Indarama" and "Igisahira" (Figure 1). 'FHIA17' is susceptible to the burrowing nematode R. similis (Viaene et al, 1997;Moens et al, 2005), while all highland banana types have been reported to be susceptible to nematodes (Speijer et al, 1999;Ssango et al, 2004). No nematode effects were in contrast observed on the yield of "Km5" which is a robust dessert banana (Musa AAA).…”

Banana pests (corm weevil and root nematodes) and diseases (Xanthomonas wilt of banana, banana bunchy top disease and fusarium wilt) are major constraints to banana production in Central Africa. The pests cause various degrees of yield reduction, while plants affected by three of the diseases eventually die before producing an edible bunch. Studies on yield gaps for most of these constraints are currently limited. This paper reviews yield gap studies of some root, tuber and banana crops broadly and with a specific focus on biotic constraints. It also presents an initial case study conducted in Burundi to understand yield gaps due to various banana pests and diseases. Bunch weights of banana varied widely at production zones in western Burundi due to biotic constraints. Boundary line analysis revealed large yield gaps due to the various pests. The often sub-optimal, medium and small bunch sizes found in visibly healthy fields however indicate that in addition to mitigating effects of biotic constraints, significant improvements in bunch weights could be attained through the application of agronomic/field management practices that enhance soil fertility, soil moisture content and soil health. Simple and robust methods [such as the boundary line analysis] for estimating yield gaps caused by pests and diseases, and abiotic constraints on farm are crucial for informing/guiding on the need to apply agronomic and/or disease control efforts. In addition, continuous/sustained field monitoring, with the involvement of farmers, over time will be necessary for a more accurate assessment of yield gaps caused by diseases and pests.

“…Moens et al (2003) also infected banana plants of Musa AAA 'Grand Naine' with 4,000 R. similis/pot. Moens et al (2005) also infected Musa AAAA 'FHIA-17' with 421 R. similis and reported fresh root weight reductions of 68% and shoot weight reductions of 24%. From these observations, Fallas et al (1995) and Hahn et al (1996) determined that the reduction of root weight in plants infested with R. similis was a good indicator of its pathogenicity on banana and plantain plants.…”

“…However, when they compared Musa plants infected with M. incognita race 1 to noninfected plants, no difference in root weight and plant height was observed. Moens et al (2005), infected Musa AA cultivars Musa ac. malaccensis, 'Niyarma Yik' and 'Tjau Lagada,' with M. incognita and reported fresh root weight reductions of 44%, 43% and 28%, respectively.…”

“…The effect of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., on Musa plants has also previously been evaluated (Moens et al, 2005). The species of Meloidogyne associated with banana and plantain are M. incognita, M. arenaria, M. javanica and M. hapla (De Waele and Davide, 1998;Sikora et al, 2018), of which M. incognita and M. javanica are the most frequently reported (Moens et al, 2006).…”

The effect of Radopholus similis, Pratylenchus araucensis, Meloidogyne spp., and their interaction was evaluated in seedlings of Musa AAB ‘Dominico Hartón’. The study was conducted in a nursery in Palestina, Caldas department, Colombia. Forty-day-old plantain seedlings were infected separately with 750, 1,500, 2,250 and 3,000 of each species of nematodes/plant. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the damage of R. similis, P. araucensis, Meloidogyne spp. and the mixture of 750 R. similis + 750 P. araucensis + 750 Meloidogyne spp. compared with the mixture of different proportions (1,500, 2,250 and 3,000 of each species of nematodes). Noninfected plants were included as a control treatment, for a total of 17 treatments in a randomized complete block design with ten replications. Twelve weeks after inoculation, all nematodes, both alone and in combination, reduced (p < 0.05) plantain dry root and shoot weight. In two experiments, R. similis, P. araucensis, and Meloidogyne spp. alone, each with a population density of 3,000, reduced (p < 0.05) root dry weight by 32.5%, 9.5% and 49%, respectively, and decreased (p < 0.05) shoot dry weight by 21.5%, 23%, and 31.5%, respectively, compared to the control. The interaction of nematodes with the lowest population decreased root (33%) and shoot (21%) weight. We conclude that the growth of ‘Dominico Hartón’ seedlings was affected by plant-parasitic nematodes, but the greatest damage occurred with concomitant nematode infection.
