【 摘 要 】

Radopholus similis is a phytoparasitic nematode which feeds itself from banana and plantain roots and corms worldwide, affecting the crops' growth and development with a loss in production between 20 and 100%. Because these musaceae has been traditionally spread by asexual seeds through young coffee trees "corms" or "rhizome" stumps, and because this phytonemtode is characterized because it penetrates and moves into the roots' cells and the corms, this has allowed the exchange of infected sowing material to be the main means for its dissemination around the world. Because of this, R. similis is described registering its distribution, biology, losses, hosting, survival, dissemination means and management practices such as avoiding the penetration of nematodes in the soil before planting, reducing their quantity in the sowing material, promoting sanity of the roots in order to help them tolerate or compete with the nematodes or any other pathogen pressure, and reducing the probabilities for the nematode to penetrate roots and rhizomes.
