Abstract

Fungi associated with nematode induced lesions on plantains were identified. Isolations were made from root and rhizome tissue generally infested with the lesion nematode Pratylenchus coffeae. The fungi Acremonium stromaticum and Cylindrocarpon musae accounted for 74% of the total isolations. The fungi associated with nematode lesions on plantains are the same ones found on bananas. Nematode-fungi interaction is discussed.
