A survey of parasitic nematodes in major banana growing areas was conducted in 1993. A total of 120 root samples were collected from 24 sites. Eight nematode species belonging to four genera were collected. The most wide spread sp. were Pratylenchus goodeyi (Cobb) Sher and Allen, and Helicotylenchus multicinctus (Cobb) Golden, occuring in 96 and 83 of the sites respectively. Radopholus similis (Cobb) Thorne and Meloidogyne spp. were also prevalent although their distribution was dependent on elevation. P. coffeae (Zimmerman) Goodey, P. zeae (Graham). H.pseudorobustus and H. dihystera (Colbran) which were previously not reported on bananas in Uganda were also found in a few sites
