Abstract

Two field trials were performed at the Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Mandioca e Fruticultura (Cruz das Almas, Ba), to study the susceptibility of two banana cultivars (Prata and Mysore) to the nematodes Radopholus similis and Helicotylenchus multicinctus. Both cultivars showed to be tolerant hosts to both nematodes, their reproduction being lower in these banana plants than in Nanicão cultivar. Prata was a host worst than Mysore. Nanicão is referred to as a check cultivar.
