Incidencia de nematodos fitoparásitos y prácticas asociadas a su manejo en el cultivo de banano (Musa × paradisiaca L.) en el cantón Pueblo Viejo

Bananas are an essential product for developing countries, with a great economic, social, environmental and political impact, the banana industry is crucial for the economy of many exporting countries, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean, in Ecuador the harvested area of banana increased 2.1 % in 2022, phytoparasitic nematodes cause significant damage to the banana root system, the nematode Radopholus similis can cause yield losses of up to 100 % in banana and plantain crops, other nematodes associated with Banana roots in Ecuador are Helicotylenchus spp, Meloidogyne spp, and Pratylenchus spp. The main objective was to evaluate the incidence of phytoparasitic nematodes and the practices associated with their management in banana cultivation in the Pueblo Viejo canton. The methodology included quantitative and qualitative research with data originating from the field and laboratory, being a type of field and non-experimental research. From which it was found that R. similis was the most common nematode, producers have limited knowledge about nematodes and their control, the use of chemicals is the most common practice, despite its negative effects, so it is concludes that the evaluation carried out leads us to recommend the implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to reduce nematode populations and minimize environmental impact, offer training programs to producers on nematodes and effective management techniques, promote research in resistant banana varieties and the use of beneficial microorganisms.
