Banana crisis alert! Fusarium wilt is destroying crops. But don't panic! We've got the cure.

 

Combat Panama Disease (Fusarium Wilt) with Akshaya® Plus & ZagroCorn 12 11 18!
Attention banana growers! Are you battling Fusarium wilt, also known as Panama disease, caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc)? We have a powerful solution to tackle this challenge: Akshaya® Plus and Zagrocorn 12 11 18!

Understanding Fusarium Wilt:
  • Initial Symptoms: Wilting, yellowing of lower leaves, and leaf collapse.
  • Progressive Symptoms: Splitting of pseudostem, irregular leaf margins, and sucker infection.
  • Sucker Infection: Infected suckers may not show symptoms until around 4 months old, which contributes to disease spread.
  • Fruit: Fruits typically do not show specific disease symptoms.
  • Spread: Through infected suckers, soil, and water.

Management Tips:

  • Pathogen Exclusion: Quarantine and regional awareness are crucial for preventing the spread.
  • Resistant Varieties: Opt for resistant cultivars as a long-term solution.
  • Apply Bacillus subtilis: Use @ 2.5 kg/ha with Akshaya® Plus and neem cake.
  • Intercrop with Allium (Onion & Garlic) Plants: This helps reduce disease impact.
  • Additional Practices: Increase soil organic matter above 3% with the use of Akshaya® Plus, avoid excessive mulching, reduce plant densities, and apply plant resistance elicitors.
  • Potassium Considerations: Boost soil potassium levels with ZagroCorn 12 11 18 @ 50 gm/plant. Higher potassium levels are linked to reduced disease severity. Apply (Datnoff et al., 2007).
