RL Epidemiology and management of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp cubense tropical race 4 Tesis(2021)

Information is compiled about the evolution of the fungus over the years, highlighting the importance of climatic and edaphological factors, exposing prevention and management strategies such as: biosecurity, chemical, biological and varietal control, improving management and determining as a priority factor to understand the dispersion process, management and prevention techniques for decision making. The wilt in banana plantations caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense generates massive losses over the years, the fungus consists of 4 races, being race 1 the one that caused 100% of the losses to the variety Gros Michel and therefore the hybrid Cavendish (not susceptible to race 1) was introduced.
