Abstract:

The most important primary agricultural commodities in the world is banana and plantain (a form of cooking banana). Banana and plantain (a type of cooking banana) rank among the world’s most valuable primary agricultural commodities. Bacteria cause significant impacts on bananas globally and management practices are not always well known or adopted by farmers. Bacterial diseases in bananas and enset can be divided into three groups: (1) Ralstonia associated diseases (Moko/Bugtok disease and banana blood disease); (2) Xanthomonas wilt of banana and enset, and (3) Erwinia-associated diseases (bacterial head rot or tip-over disease Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora and E. chrysanthemi), bacterial rhizome and pseudostem wet rot (Dickeya paradisiaca formerly E. chrysanthemi pv. paradisiaca). Other bacterial diseases of less widespread importance include: bacterial wilt of abaca, Javanese vascular wilt and bacterial fingertip rot. Banana is vegetatively propagated using suckers or tissue culture plants that grow, mature and fruit without seasonality throughout the year. Banana production has been vulnerable by a series of abiotic and organic stresses such as fungi, nematodes, bacterial wilt and viruses. Viral diseases are thought of a serious concern for banana production because of their effects on yield and quality. There are several (about 20) totally different viruses reported to infect banana worldwide. However, the economically most significant viruses are: Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV), Banana streak viruses (BSV), Banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV) and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Among these, BBTV and BSV are major threats for banana production. Of the two, BSV exist as episomal and endogenous forms and more widely spread worldwide than BBTV. Due to lack of durable virus resistance in the Musa spp., measures such phytosanitation, use of virus free planting material, strict regulation on movement of infected planting materials are effective means to control viral diseases in banana. This paper presents a review of the diseases affecting the musa species.

Keywords:

Musa acuminate; Musa balbsiana; pseudostem; Banana Xanthomonas wilt.
