Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of various nematicides in the control of nematodes that affect plantains (Musa acuminata x M. balbisiana, AAB). The results obtained indicated that application of the nematicides Nemacur G, Dasanit G, Mocap G. Temik G, Furadan G, Vydate G. and Nemagon E. C., at their recommended dosages and frequency, prevented reduction in yield of plantain plants due to nematode attack. Use of these nematicides has made possible for the first time in Puerto Rico the harvest of three successive crops of plantains without renovating the plantation after the first harvest.Downloads
