Abstract Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) causes wilt in banana (Musa AAA ). Foc Race 1 devastated the subgroup Gros Michel during first half of twentieth century. The was largely replaced by resistant Cavendish 1950s. However, 1980s, Tropical 4 started to spread affecting bananas. No proper control measures have been found deal with disease. This paper re-takes an important research line from 1950s evaluate potential soil management for management. role properties on bananas studied...
Abstract Aims This study looks whether the response of soil management (liming and nitrogen fertilization) on incidence Fusarium wilt (Foc Race 1) in Gros Michel banana ( Musa AAA) varies with different properties. Methods The effect inoculation Foc 1 was studied a factorial greenhouse trial samples from eight representative types Costa Rican region, two pH levels; three levels N-fertilization. After an 8-week period, plant biomass disease index were measured. Results There significant...
Soil management offers various options to alleviate the effects of Fusarium wilt caused by oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) in bananas. Nevertheless, it receives little attention as a strategy management. Literature provides ample evidence linking soil conditions such texture and fertility spread severity plant diseases. However, inconsistency results between case studies limits crop disease The present study aimed at unravelling role abiotic factors on nutrient concentrations tissue, biomass...
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is a soil-borne fungus causing wilt (FW) in banana. It practically impossible to eradicate Foc soils. Our understanding of soil–Foc–banana interactions hampered by inconsistent research results caused agro-ecological variability and the complexity soil system. This study aimed evaluate options manage chemical properties reduce disease expression maintain banana production. The FW (Foc Race 1) agronomic performance Gros Michel (Musa AAA) were evaluated...
In the last century, Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB) destroyed cultivar Gros Michel. The Cavendish cultivars saved global industry, and currently they dominate production (~50%) export trade (~95%). However, a new strain called Tropical Race 4 (TR4) surfaced in late 1960's, spread globally greatly damages plantations as well manifold local varieties that are primarily grown by small holders. Presently, there is no commercially available replacement for hence control strategies must be...
El uso intensivo de agentes convencionales ha deteriorado los agroecosistemas bananeros, por lo que es una prioridad fomentar alternativas para mejorar la salud y calidad del suelo. Se establecieron áreas con manejo convencional control mecánico coberturas. evaluaron diferentes indicadores químicos, físicos biológicos libre crecimiento arvenses disminuyó compactación superficial. La materia seca las coberturas aporta contenidos importantes N K. químico obtuvo mayor temperatura menor tasa...
Se presenta información técnica y científica sobre el mejoramiento genético clásico biotecnológico, aplicado a bananos plátanos (Musa AA, BB, AAA, AAB). El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una investigación revisión crítica literatura estado actual del las musáceas. Enfermedades como la Sigatoka negra, Fusariosis banano, Virus Bunchy Top Banano (BBTV), aspectos abióticos, han generado un interés creciente trabajo en los programas nivel mundial. La evidencia histórica confirma que Musa...
Introducción. Las rizobacterias promotoras de crecimiento vegetal (RPCV) podrían ser utilizadas como una fuente alternativa al uso fertilizantes nitrogenados convencionales en el cultivo banano (Musa AAA). Es necesario la búsqueda bacterias adaptadas a las condiciones los suelos Costa Rica y del banano. Objetivo. Evaluar efecto inoculación cuatro aislamientos Bacillus cereus sobre contenido nitrógeno (N) plántulas invernadero. Materiales métodos. Se realizaron dos experimentos simultáneos...
Abstract Aims This study looks whether the response of soil management (liming and nitrogen fertilization) on incidence Fusarium wilt (Foc Race 1) in Gros Michel banana ( Musa AAA) is influenced by types. Methods The effect inoculation with Foc 1 was studied a factorial greenhouse trial eight representative types Costa Rican region, two pH levels; three levels N-fertilization. After an 8-week period, plant biomass, leaf area, disease index were measured. Results There significant effects N,...
