Abstract

In most regions of the world, nematodes are recognized as important pests of bananas. Because banana nematodes attack the root and/or corm tissues, plant growth and yield are affected. The objective of these technical guidelines is tostimulate interest in nematode resistance and tolerance screening in bananas, and toprovide a methodology for carrying out such screening: plant material, nematode inoculum, screening experiments in pots or in the field, nematode reproduction assessment, and damage assessment.[Dans la plupart des regions du monde, les nematodes figurent parmi les principaux parasites des bananiers. S'attaquant aux tissus des racines et/ou des souches, les nematodes affectent la croissance des plants et les rendements. Ce guide technique a pour but de stimuler l'interet pour le criblage des bananiers vis-a-vis de la resistance et de la tolerance aux nematodes, et de fournir une methodologie de criblage : materiel vegetal, inoculum,criblage en pots ou au champ, evaluation de la reproduction des nematodes, evaluation des degâts.][Los nematodos figuran, en la mayor parte de las regiones del mundo, entre los principales parasitos del banano. Al atacar los tejidos de raices o rizomas, los nematodos afectan el crecimiento de las plantas y su rendimiento. El objetivo de esta guia tecnica es estimular el interes por la seleccion de los bananos en cuanto a resistencia-tolerancia a los nematodos y proporcionar una metodologia de seleccion: material vegetal, inoculo, seleccion en macetas o en el campo, evaluacion de la produccion de nematodos, evaluacion de danos.]
