Abstract

A total of 32 Philippine banana cultivars of varying genotypes including two collections of wild Musa balbisiana were evaluated for resistance to burrowing nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, under greenhouse conditions. Resistance was evaluated based on plant growth parameters, root damage and nematode reproduction.

Cultivars Ambon (AAA), Cuarenta Dias (AA), Carbada (BBB), Katali (ABB), Kinamay Dalaga (AA), Morong Princesa (AA), Tanggung (AAA) and wild Musa balbisiana (BBw) collection 98-085 were identified to be resistant and/or tolerant to R. similis. On the other hand, cultivars Ambon (AAA), Pandili (unclassified) and Sulay Baguio (AAA) were found resistant to M. incognita, whereas Cardaba (BBB), Datu (AAA), Katali (ABB), Kinamay Dalaga (AA), Laknau (AAB), Manang (AA) and Matavia (ABB) were tolerant.
