Development of key soil health indicators for the Australian banana industry
View via Publisher
Population dynamics and economic threshold of the nematodes Radopholus similis and Pratylenchus goodeyi on banana in Australia
To help banana growers to decide when to apply nematicide, economic thresholds were determined for tropical north Queensland, subtropical south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales,…

Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) did not affect banana production in subtropical Australia.
Comparison of the reproduction and pathogenicity of isolates of Radopholus similis (burrowing nematode) from Australia and Fiji on ginger (Zingiber officinale) and banana (Musa spp.)
TLDR
Given the pathogenic variability observed in this study, care should be taken when soil and plant material are transferred between Fiji and Australia to avoid the potential introduction of infected material that could be used for plant propagation.

Banana root and soil health project - Australia.
TLDR
The use of a basic set of soil quality indicators that can be readily used by farmers, was linked to soil nematode indicators to determine relationships between soil properties to allow continual improvement in soil management to allow banana production to have minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Improved control of nematodes in carrot production
Bioassay for enhanced biodegradation of nematicides in soil
TLDR
In the Australian banana industry, burrowing nematode (Radopholus similis) is controlled by routine use of chemical nematicides, particularly fenarniphos, and if fenamiphos is rapidly degraded in soil, rotation with cadusafos may allow nematodes management.

Improving Soil Health to Suppress Soil Borne Diseases of Ginger
To successfully enhance soil suppressiveness, it is necessary to understand how farming practices can improve key indicators of soil health as they relate to increased biodiversity of the soil…
Using nematodes as bioindicators for soil health in bananas
Agricultural industries are increasingly recognising the link between soil health and the impact of farming operations on the surrounding environment. However, there are few tools available to…
