Panama disease of bananas

Panama disease is considered to be one of the most damaging plant diseases in the world. In South Africa, the disease is particularly severe in the Kiepersol area. Since no effective method of control is available, it is important to develop an integrated disease management program to limit the effect of the disease in the field. It is also necessary to analyse the pathogen population, and to determine the spread thereof
