Epidemiology and management of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense tropical race 4: Literature Review

Wilting in banana plantations caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense has generated massive losses over the years. So far, the fungus consists of 4 races, being race 1 the one that caused 100% losses to the Gros Michel variety and for this reason the Cavendish hybrid was introduced (no...

Avellaneda, Carolina López, Julio Epidemiology Foc race 4 Management Prevention Wilting banana Wilting in banana plantations caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense has generated massive losses over the years. So far, the fungus consists of 4 races, being race 1 the one that caused 100% losses to the Gros Michel variety and for this reason the Cavendish hybrid was introduced (not susceptible to race 1).

Based on the information collected, it was concluded that the evolution of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense influences the severity of the Foc R4T attack and the dispersal process should be a prioritized factor, as well as the management and prevention techniques for decision making. 2021-12-07T16:17:37Z 2021-12-07T16:17:37Z 2021 Thesis https://bdigital.zamorano.edu/handle/11036/7050 eng 42 p.
