Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4) (Syn. odoratissimum) is a devastating soil-borne pathogen that infects the roots of banana plants and causes wilt disease. Colombia one world’s leading producers; therefore, new uncontrolled outbreaks could have serious consequences. Despite this, little known about susceptibility Musaceae lands in to Foc TR4. This work presents pioneering study on Colombian soils For was carried out characterize climatic, edaphic, density factors...
Fusarium wilt of banana caused by the soil-borne fungi oxysporum f. sp. cubense, Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4) (Syn. odoratissimum), is a major threat to global industry. Aiming identify predisposing soil factors for (FWB) TR4, 23 physical and chemical properties were studied in three commercial farms La Guajira, Colombia. Disturbed undisturbed samples collected from areas affected disease (affected plots) disease-free (healthy plots). Five repetitions per farm considered, with total sample n =...
