  abstract = {{D}uring a survey of the nematodes associated with weeds in banana fields in {M}artinique, 41 weed species in 37 genera from 20 plant families were collected to extract nematodes from the roots. {R}esults of this survey showed that 24 weed species were hosts of {R}adopholus similis, 23 were hosts of {H}elicotylenchus spp., 13 were hosts of {P}ratylenchus spp., 13 were hosts of {H}oplolaimus seinhorsti, 29 were hosts of {M}eloidogyne spp. and 24 were hosts of {R}otylenchulus reniformis. {T}he presence of the burrowing nematode was more consistently found within three families, the {E}uphorbiaceae, {P}oaceae and {S}olanaceae. {I}n some weed species such as {C}aladium bicolor, {C}ommelina diffusa, {E}chinochloa colona and {P}henax sonneratii, the levels of nematodes recovered were similar to, or greater than the numbers recovered from {M}usa roots. {T}hese results clearly show that certain weeds can be significant reservoirs of plant parasitic nematodes including {R}. similis in banana fields. {T}his information is crucial in devising appropriate nematode control measures for use with rotation crops or fallow before re-planting banana fields with nematode free planting material.
