Abstract:
The population of burrowing nematode, Rado/iholns similis was reduced in a three year crop
rotation involving banana-paddy-cowpea-paddy-elephant foot yam. The yield of banana crop in the second
rotation cycle increased. In respect of output of banana the next best rotation was banana-tapioca-fallow
sequence. Higher population build up of R. similis ami low yield of banana were observed after monocropping
with banana.
