Currently, the control of this pathogen relies on chemicals, as no resistant varieties are available. However, new control methods, such the application of ensilage biostimulants (EBs) near the banana rhizosphere, have shown effectiveness. Nevertheless, the impact of this organic control method on soil nematodes and other microbial components remains unknown. This study evaluates the effects of EB application on the native nematofauna of banana. EBs altered the flow of carbon, nutrients, and energy in ways that influenced the abundance of fungivorous and bacterivorous taxa, while consistently reducing the number of plant-parasitic nematodes throughout the experimental period. Specifically, EB application in the soil increased the abundance of certain free-living nematodes, including Aphelenchus, Aphelenchoides, Cephalobidae, and Rhabditidae, while decreasing both the abundance and diversity of phytoparasitic nematodes. In contrast, Criconematidae, Hoplolaimidae, Meloidogyne, Tylenchidae, and R. similis were more abundant in the control and oxamyl-treated soils. EBs can play a crucial role in strategies aimed to improve soil resilience, fertility, and natural suppression, provided that more sustainable production practices are adopted.This research was funded with the support of the National Banana Corporation (CORBANA) of Costa Rica.Peer reviewedMultidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstituteCorporación Bananera Nacional (Costa Rica)Palomares-Rius, Juan E.
