“…Despite a considerable body of literature which indicates that diverse measures can be used to manage this disease (see Thangavelu and Mustaffa, 2012), there are actually few effective options. Unfortunately, most of the control measures that have been reported have not been tested in real world situations in field environments.…”

“…In the decade since biocontrol work on Fusarium wilt of banana was last reviewed (Ploetz, 2004), the above trends have continued, as few field studies have been reported and most publications describe only lab and greenhouse research (Borges et al, 2007;Fishal et al, 2010;Forsyth et al, 2006;Lian et al, 2008;Mohandas et al, 2010;Nel et al, 2006a,b;Sun et al, 2011;Thangavelu and Jayanthi, 2009;Thangavelu and Mustaffa, 2012;Ting et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2013;Weber et al, 2007;Wu et al, 2013;Zacky and Ting, 2013). In two exceptional situations, field results were reported: the best treatment of Thangavelu and Jayanthi (2009) resulted in a nonsustainable incidence of 20% after 8 months, and in another study, promising greenhouse treatments failed in the field; in it, Belgrove et al (2011) noted that "… neither the nonpathogenic F. oxysporum, P. fluorescens, nor combinations thereof reduced Fusarium wilt development significantly."…”

“…In the first cycle of a banana crop, the planting-to-harvest interval is typically 14e18 months. Thus, if fruit production for at least one cycle is the goal of producers in Foc-infested soils, it is clear that cost-effective biocontrol measures for this disease have not been developed (Thangavelu and Mustaffa, 2012). Tactics that could be used to forestall biocontrol failures in the field will require better understandings of these interactions and realistic evaluations of their efficacy.…”

“…It is one of the most important fruits in the world and is widely grown in the tropical and sub-tropical countries (Simmonds and Shepherd, 1955). Banana is grown over 120 countries worldwide (Thangavelu and Mustaffa, 2012) covering about 10 million hectares with an annual world production estimated at 127 million tons. In Bangladesh, it is grown throughout the year but the production is still low as compared to other banana producing countries of the world (FAO, 2008).…”

A study was carried out during July 2010 to April 2012 to understand the effect of weather prevalence on sigatoka disease of banana suckers in different areas of Bangladesh and to develop an environment friendly disease management practice. Four locations viz. Dinajpur, Bogra, Rangpur and Madhupur were surveyed. To find out suitable and ecofriendly management practices for controlling sigatoka disease of banana, seven treatments were used viz. i) Soil drenching with BAU-Biofungicide (2%), ii) BAU-Biofungicide as foliar spray (2%), iii) Soil drenching with BAU-Biofungicide (2%) plus foliar spray (2%), iv) Bavistin (carbendazim) spray (0.2%), v) Dithane M-45 (mancozeb) spray (0.2%), vi) Soil drenching with BAU-Biofungicide (2%) plus Bavistin spray (0.2%); and vii) control. The average highest incidence (26.42%) and severity (22.84%) of sigatoka disease of banana suckers were recorded during October at Bogra, while the lowest incidence (9.75 %) and severity (8.51%) were recorded during January at Dinajpur. Out of the control measures employed, BAU-Biofungicide (2%) either alone or in combination with Bavistin (0.2%) was found as an excellent biocontrol means for controlling sigatoka disease of banana suckers.

“…Therefore, biotization of tissue culture plantlets with native effective non-pathogenic endophytic microbes including mycorrhizal fungi at the acclimatization stage enhances plant resistance to tissue cultured plants against Fusarium wilt (Nowak, 1998). Several reports have previously demonstrated the successful use of different species of Trichoderma, Pseudomonas, Streptomyces, mycorrhiza and non-pathogenic Fusarium of both rhizospheric and endophytic in nature against Fusariumwilt disease under both greenhouse and field conditions (Thangavelu et al, 2002;Thangavelu and Mustaffa, 2012). The potential of Bacillus, Trichoderma and mycorrhiza (AM fungi) in suppressing Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.…”

The impact of microbiological commercial products (PHC Biopak, Rhizatech and ECO-T) on the occurrence of mycorrhizae and Fusarium in the rhizosphere of tissue culture banana (Gros Mitchel cv.) was assessed. Tissue cultured banana plantlets were inoculated with PHC Biopak (Bacillus), Rhizatech (mycorrhiza) and ECO-T (T. harzianum) under greenhouse conditions using a completely randomized design in a Vertisol, Rhodic Ferralsol and Humic Nitisol sampled from the major banana growing regions in Kenya. Potted plants were later established under field conditions in the three agro ecological zones. Roots and soils sampled at end of potting and at flowering were assessed for AM fungi colonization and Fusarium populations. The effect of product inoculation on AM fungi colonization varied and only significant (p<0.05) in Rhodic Ferralsol with Rhizatech increasing intensity of colonization by 31.9% and PHC Biopak increasing the frequency of colonization by 38.6% compared to the non-inoculated control (12.9%). F. oxysporum, fsp. cubense, F. proliferatum and F. incarnatum were recovered from the experimental soils. Foc was the most abundant in the three soils (prior to inoculation) accounting for 60.6% of all Fusarium colony forming units. After inoculation, at the end of potting stage and at flowering, F. proliferatum was mostly isolated from the three zones accounting for 35.2% of the total fungal population. Foc was isolated from Humic Nitisol and Vertisol accounting for 11.5% of the total fungal population. PHC Biopak, ECO-T and Rhizatech suppressed Foc colony forming units per gram of soil by 47, 68 and 55%, respectively in the Humic Nitisol. ECO-T reduced Fusarium colony forming units per gram of soil by 6% in Rhodic Ferralsol and PHC Biopak by 50% in Vertisol compared to the non-inoculated soils. There is potential in use of commercial microbiological products to suppress Foc and the efficacy of the products depends on soil physico-chemical properties.
