Bananas are one of most popular fruits worldwide. Estimated export in 2020 reached a record high of 22.2 million tons, a 1.7% growth compared to 2019. They are cultivated in Asia, Africa, Australia, Latin, and South America. People value them for their taste, easy accessibility, low price, plenty of nutrients and vitamins, preparation versatility. They contain vitamins A, C, E, K and from B group, fibre, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and potassium. In some countries bananas and plantains are the basis of diet and are consumed daily, like rice or potatoes. Unfortunately, these wonderful fruits may soon cease to exist. An illness called Panama disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum fungus is responsible for destroying 950,000 metric tonnes of crop yields annually. Previous variant of that disease almost caused a total wipeout of former mostly cultivated banana cultivar Gros Michel. In this work Panama disease history, biology, and preventionare reviewed.

“…The obtained resistance of Si amended plants against the fungal pathogen might be due to accumulation of Si in the leaves, thereby, interfering with the pathogen's penetration as a result of a mechanical barrier. Niwas et al [14] tested seven micronutrients viz., Calcium nitrate, Ammonium sulphate, Copper sulphate, Potassium chloride, Borax, Ferrous sulphate and Zinc sulphate. Borax @ 500 ppm completely inhibited the growth of F. oxysporum f. sp.…”

Banana is one of the most important fruit crops. The major losses in banana mainly due to the fungal wilt disease which is caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense. The pathogen is mainly soil bone and saprotrophic in nature that’s why its management is very difficult. The yearly losses of banana by this disease in the world is ranging from 60 to 90% and in India 30–40%. Sustainable management of panama wilt is must to overcome these losses occur in banana. The management strategies for longer duration through crop rotation, organic amendment, application of micronutrient like silicon (Si), borax, host-pathogen interaction, hormonal induction of defence response, biological control, transgenic approach, disease resistance developed by somaclonal variation. These approaches are mainly emphasized for long term management of the panama wilt disease.
