Abstract

The article focussed on the spread of a new form of panama disease throughout plantations of Cavendish, the most commercially popular variety. The disease is caused by Fusarium wilt fungus, which causes vascular wilt, and attacks the xylem vessels of a plant. The disease has spread to Australia, South Africa and parts of Asia. It is only a matter of time before it reaches the hub of commercial production: Latin America and the Caribbean.
