The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis is considered to be the most destructive nematode associated with banana growth worldwide. Cultural and chemical management alone cannot guarantee full control. An alternative is to develop new banana hybrids with resistance to burrowing nematode. The twenty four new synthetic banana hybrids were screened under artificially inoculated pot condition for their reaction and resistance mechanism against Radopholus similis. | Induction of resistant to Radopholus similis and defence related mechanism in susceptible and resistance banana hybrids infected with Radopholus similis
