The reaction of twenty-four new synthetic banana hybrids to Pratylenchus coffeae was studied under artificially inoculated pot conditions. Two banana hybrids, H-04-05 and H-04-06 were found to be resistant and ten hybrids, H-04-01, H-04-03, H-04-04, H-04-07, H-04-09, H-04-11, H-04-16, H-04-19, H-04-21 and H-04-24 were found to be tolerant to the lesion nematode, Pratylenchus coffeae and the remaining were rated as susceptible.
