  abstract = {{B}anana hybrids with resistance to {Y}ellow {S}igatoka and {B}lack {L}eaf {S}treak disease were evaluated for resistance to the burrowing nematode {R}adopholus similis and to the lesion nematode {P}ratylenchus co{V}eae in a growth chamber at 24-28. {P}lants produced by tissue culture were acclimatised for 6 weeks prior to inoculation. {F}orty-five days after inoculation with nematodes, the root systems were processed and nematode numbers assessed. {T}wo cultivars of {G}rande {N}aine ({M}usa {AAA}, {C}avendish subgroup, {ITC}1256 and cv902) and one cultivar of {Y}angambi {K}m5 ({M}usa {AAA}, {I}bota subgroup, {ITC}1123) were used respectively as susceptible and resistant controls. {R}esults based on multiplication rates and root infestations showed that three of these hybrids ({FB}918, {FB}919 and {FB}924) were not significantly different from the resistant control {Y}angambi {K}m5 with a lower multiplication of {R}. similis. {S}imilarly four of these hybrids ({FB}918, {FB}919, {FB}920, {FB}924) showed a lower multiplication of {P}. coffeae, not significantly different from the same resistant control. {T}his is the first study that shows a partial resistance to both nematode species, {R}. similis and {P}. coffeae within synthetic hybrids of {M}. acuminata, adding an important extra value to these dessert banana hybrids formerly bred to resist to {M}ycosphaerella leaf spot diseases.},
