Additionally, FB920 has been shown to improve root resistance to Burrowing nematodes ( " Radopholis similis " ).
2.
Studies have found that Burrowing Nematodes have a much lower propensity to propagate in FB920 samples, providing evidence of the cultivar s claimed resistance.
3.
Although this characteristic promotes Lesion Nematodes to overdevelop due to lack of competition, they are considerably more benign than the highly destructive Burrowing Nematode.
4.
Based on the same study, the FB920 cultivar has been found to have up to ~ 90 % lower populations of Burrowing Nematodes than Cavendish cultivar samples.
5.
The first big breakthrough came in 1977, with the development of a hybrid which provided a good banana bunch size, and was resistant to both burrowing nematode and Race 4 of Panama disease.
6.
Among these, root-knot nematode ( Meloidogyne sp . ), cyst forming nematode ( Heterodera sp . ), reniform nematode ( Rotylenchulus reniformis ), lesion nematode ( Pratylenchus sp . ) and burrowing nematode ( Radopholus similis ) are economically important nematodes.
