Effect of carbofuran and fenamiphos on three nematodes infesting banana

S. Abdul Karim

Abstract

Two nematicides, carbofuran and fenamiphos, were tested for the control of three plant-parasitic nematodes infesting banana cv. Mas Raub. With an endemic populations of Rotylenchulus reniformis, Meloidogyne incognita and Helicotylenchus spp., the yield of banana was not significantly reduced although the treatments of fenamiphos and carbofuran lowered the population of M. incognita and Helicotylenchus spp. in the roots. The population of R. reniformis in soil and plant roots was not significantly reduced by the nematicides.
