Fusarium species were reported to produce biofilms. Biofilms are superficial societies of microbes bounded and endangered by being situated or taking place outside a cell cells. The most destructive fungal diseases caused phytopathogens as result biofilms formation. wilt banana (Panama disease) is soil-borne pathogen called oxysporum f. sp. cubense. occurs in form complex (FOSC) which encompasses crowd strains. Horizontal genetic factor transfer may donate the observed assortment pathogenic strains, while sexual reproduction unknown FOSC. notorious disease on several crops worldwide. Yield loss this huge, significant destroy crop yields annually, thereby affecting producer countries various continents world. also resistant synthetic chemical fungicides. However, excessive use fungicides during control could be lethal humans, animals, plants. This calls for alternative eco-friendly management targeting formation finally suppressing devastating phytopathogen. In review, we, therefore, described damage disease, concept filamentous biofilms, classical strategies, sustainable strategies using essential oils, prevention vegetables diseases.
