  abstract = {{N}ematodes are major pests for crops, including banana. {E}nvironmentally friendly methods for managing plant-parasitic nematodes have to be developed, such as organic material application. {O}ur study focuses on the impacts of several organic amendments on banana plants, considering mainly their effect on soil nitrogen supply and soil microbial biomass, and the consequences on plant-parasitic nematode impacts on the plants. {A} microcosm experiment for 13 weeks was conducted to evaluate four organic materials: sugarcane bagasse, sugarcane sludge, plant residues, and sewage sludge, compared to a control without organic amendment. {I}nput of organic materials led to an important change on nitrogen resource, and plants grew better when the {N} availability was the highest, but better growth conditions did not necessarily reduce parasitic nematodes impacts on the roots. {D}amage on the roots depended on plant-parasitic nematode abundance. {T}hree of four tested amendments exhibited a regulator effect on plant-parasitic nematode populations (bagasse, sugarcane sludge, and plant residues). {R}oot growth was not the explanatory factor for this regulation. {O}nly sugarcane sludge led to an overall positive effect on the plant, increasing its growth and reducing its parasitism pressure. {T}he other organic materials exhibited an antagonism between the promoted plant growth and the reduced nematode populations.},
