Abstract
Banana (Musi? Spp < /em>) .s considered an economical monocotyteoons plant grown in the most gcvernorates of Egypt. Banana suffers from a wide range of plant disease especially root-knot Nematode and root-rot by different soil borne fUf'gi. SIX to eight genera of nematodes representing ecto and endo-parasitic forms were recorded from the banana orchards grown in four Egypt Governorates with different population densities, frquencies of occurrence and prominence values. The root-knot nematodes. Meloldogyne spp and the spiral nematodes, Helicotylenchus spp < /em>. Are the major nematode pests on. banana roots. The incidence of other sixgenera of Nematodes at low popviauon densities. percentage of frequency and prominence values were also reported. Occurrence of the surveyed nematodes as socated witn banana roots are recorded In relation to different soil fungi isolated from rh ..:ospnere of banana roots. About twenty one soil-borne fungi were isolated from naturally infected banana roots. Botryodip < /em>lodla theobromae and Fusarium soleru were the most frequent isolates followed by Rhizoctonie solani and F. equlseti
