The research work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the populations of phytoparasitic nematodes that affect the banana crop.The research was carried out in the three zones of Antioquia Urabá (North, Central and South), in the rainy season (May-September, 2018).A total of 169 samples were collected from the three zones.Root sampling was done by the technique proposed by Araya and Calvo (2001), the separation of nematodes was done by the sieving and centrifugation method in sucrose solution (Alvarado and López 1985) and its identification was made at the gender level (Maggenti et al. 1987).The following genera were found: Radopholus, Helicotylenchus and Meloidiogyne.In the same way, root damage was found that oscillated 25.2 and 33.4%, without influence on crop production.It was concluded that the populations of dominant nematodes in the Urabá area belong to the genera Radopholus, Helicotylenchus and Meloidiogyne, with high populations, but without significant effect on the yields of the banana crop.
