Abstract

Abstract Nearly 500 samples taken from banana and over 30 other crops in the Windward Islands revealed the presence of 31 species of plant parasitic nematodes. The most common were: Radopholus similis, Helicotylenchus multicinctus, Rotylenchulus reniformis, Meloidogyne incognita, Tylenchulus semipenetrans and Xiphinema vulgare. A review of the plant parasitic nematodes recorded from the Windward Islands is given and the more important species are discussed. Details of banana nematode control are given.
