Plantain cultivation in Colombia occupies one of the main areas of the economy: plantain is part of the shopping basket and is a source of employment in the areas where it is cultivated. The production of this fruit is threatened by the attack of phytoparasitic nematodes affecting the root system, reducing the absorption of nutrients and serving as a gateway to pathogens. Because of this, maneuvers which allow the regulation of populations through strategies that do not threaten the balance of the ecosystem and that show a competitive advantage over traditional treatments. The phytonematodes population response of Dominico-Harton plantain, the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and earthworm activity to HMA inoculation, leachate from plantain compost rachis and earthworm compost were evaluated in this study. The results obtained from this research suggest that the phytonematodes population response to the treatments evaluated, showed strong dependence on parasitic characteristics of each gender and than the application of earthworm compost, AMF and leachate from plantain compost rachis may have a potential in the regulation of phytonematodes populations in cultivation.

Keywords : Mycorrhiyzae; earthworm compost; leachate; nematodes; earthworm.
