Banana is an important fruit crop which is grown in tropical and subtropical parts of the world. Banana production is inhibited by various insect pests. Though chemical insecticides are recommended for control of these pests, use of biocontrol agents are alternative method .One of the biocontrol agents is the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). This review finds the work of some of the successful EPN species or strains from different geographical locations that may affect practical bio control of banana rhizome weevil, a major pest of banana. Emphasis is made on roles of EPNs in reducing banana rhizome weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) and directions of future research in biocontrol programme are presented.
