Abstract

Radopholus similis is an important pathogenic nematode of bananas and ornamentals. R. similis has a wide host range. It was introduced to China through importing of garden plants. At present, there is few reports about R. similis in Mainland China. But the risk of R. similis invasions in china has increased rapidly with the increasing international trade. In this chapter, we described the current invasion situation, epidemic distribution and adaptability of R. similis on bananas in China. It is essential to strengthen the supervision of plant quarantine and necessary to strengthen the control of the R. similis in greenhouse in China.
