Fusarium wilt disease in commercial banana production.
Abstract
Fusarium wilt of bananas (Panama disease) is becoming a major problem in banana production in Malaysia, attributable to the increasing hectarage planted with susceptible clones and the new occurrence of a highly virulent race of the pathogen, F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense, in Peninsular Malaysia. An update on the disease situation is presented together with a report on the genetic variability of the fungus and the disease resistance/susceptibility of native and introduced banana cultivars. Strategies for managing the disease problem and minimising the losses caused and spread of the pathogen are discussed. Incluye 8 referencias bibliográficas.
