Extract

In March, 1928, Mr. S. F. Ashby of the Imperial Bureau of Mycology, sent the writer some portions of diseased banana roots for examination and determination of the nematodes occurring therein. The material had come from plants growing in the Palm House at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where bananas of several species had been growing for some years in the same soil. Information was later sent that the plants had been in failing health for the last two or three years and that this year the symptoms of disease had become acute. These symptoms were said to be quite similar to those described by Nowell (1919) in the case of diseased “bluggoe“ banana in Grenada with which Tylenchus musicola was found to be associated.
