This book provides a comprehensive guide to the large number of
diseases, disorders and injuries that can cause severe economic
losses to banana, abaca and enset crops, and the fungi, bacteria,
phytoplasmas, viruses, nematodes and abiotic factors involved. The
monoculture of certain banana cultivars in large plantations make
the crop particularly susceptible to catastrophic losses from
disease and smallholders can also experience major problems. New
approaches to breeding, crop management and handling are being
developed to meet challenges posed by emerging threats. Handbook of
Diseases of Banana, Abaca and Enset both describes and illustrates
diseases and is printed in full colour throughout, creating a
valuable diagnostic tool. It covers: - The origin and
classification of banana, the safe movement of Musa germplasm and
banana breeding for disease resistance. - Recent areas of growing
research on the most important diseases of banana, such as black
leaf streak, Fusarium wilt, Xanthomonas bacterial wilt and bunchy
top. - Significant advances relating to pathogens causing less
serious and widespread diseases. Authored by an international team
of experts, this is an essential reference for all 'banana doctors'
around the world. It serves as a useful field and laboratory guide,
as well as a source of information for all those investigating
diseases of banana, abaca and enset crops.
