As staple food with a high carbohydrate content (Pareek, 2016), bananas are an important calorie source in the diet of over 500 million inhabitants in banana producing countries (Aurore et al., 2009). Bananas are not only eaten raw as dessert or sweet bananas, but also cooked such as plantains and cooking bananas. Additionally, they are used as raw materials in diverse regional products, for instance in beer, juice or flour production (Aurore et al., 2009; Ekesa et al., 2012). Equally important, bananas are a cash crop for small farmers that serve domestic markets and for banana producing countries exporting to international markets. Nearly 85% of the total production of bananas is designated to local markets and only 15% enters international markets (FAOSTAT, 2013). In 2014, world banana production reached 78.8 million tonnes, with India contributing with 38% of produced bananas (FruitTrop, 2017). In descending order, India, Uganda, China, The Philippines, Ecuador and Brazil are globally the largest banana producing countries (Fig. 1). Importantly, East Africa is the largest bananaproducing and consuming region in Africa, with Uganda having the highest consumption of bananas that may exceed 1.6 kilograms per capita per day (Thornton & Cramer, 2012). Notably, the export trade of bananas is particularly important for The Philippines and several exporting countries in

“…This cultivar has great potential for introduction into the Brazilian cropping system because the fruits of FHIA 18 have similar characteristics to the Prata, making this cultivar a viable substitute for the cultivar that is susceptible to the black Sigatoka fungus ( Mycosphaerella fijiensis , Morelet) and Panama disease ( Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense ; Smith, Langdon, Pegg, & Daniells, 2014).…”

Agronomic performance of Banana ‘FHIA 18’ in response to phosphate fertilization

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Phosphorus (P) use efficiency can be improved for banana (Musa ssp.) crops. The recommended phosphate fertilization rates can be reduced, depending on the cultivated genotype. The goal of this study was to identify the most appropriate P fertilizer recommendation for the banana cultivar FHIA 18. The rates of P applied in three production cycles were as follows: 0 (without fertilization), 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 kg ha −1 of P 2 O 5 yr −1 . The cultivar FHIA 18 requires an application of 55% of the recommended P fertilization (22 kg ha −1 P 2 O 5 ) in the second and third cultivation cycles to reach maximum growth because of the increased pseudostem diameter. The results showed an increase in available soil P with increasing levels of phosphate fertilizers. Furthermore, the maximum P content in diagnostic leaves was obtained with 90% of the recommended phosphate fertilization rate (36 kg ha −1 of P 2 O 5 yr −1 ).Yield increased with increasing P 2 O 5 levels, reaching a maximum value (62.93 kg −1 plant −1 yr −1 ) with a lower P 2 O 5 level than that recommended for other banana cultivars in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Thus, the cultivar FHIA 18 requires 26 kg ha −1 of P 2 O 5 to reach its maximum yield.Abbreviations: FHIA, Honduran Agricultural Research Foundation; P, phosphorus; PRI, P response index; PStD, pseudostem diameter.

“…Managing Foc using chemical, physical and cultural practices remained futile, whereas developing and commercializing resistant cultivars via breeding and biotechnological approaches are technically demanding and time consuming (Ghag et al ). Consumer’s acceptance would be another major challenge to be addressed upon successful development of a resistant cultivar (Smith et al ).…”

Aims This study sought to investigate the effect of bioformulation on the biocontrol efficacy, microbial viability and storage stability of a consortium of Pseudomonas aeruginosa DRB1 and Trichoderma harzianum CBF2 against Foc Tropical Race 4 (Foc‐TR4). Materials and Results Four bioformulations consisting of dry (pesta granules, talc powder and alginate beads) and liquid formulations were evaluated for their ability to control Foc‐TR4, sustain microbial populations after application and maintain microbial stability during storage. All tested bioformulations reduced disease severity (DS) by more than 43·00% with pesta granules producing the highest reduction in DS by 66·67% and the lowest area under the disease progress curve value (468·75) in a glasshouse trial. Microbial populations of DRB1 and CBF2 were abundant in the rhizosphere, rhizoplane and within the roots of bananas after pesta granules application as compared to talc powder, alginate beads and liquid formulations 84 days after inoculation (DAI). The stability of both microbial populations after 180 days of storage at 4°C was the greatest in the pesta granule formulation. Conclusion The pesta granule formulation was a suitable carrier of biological control agents (BCA) without compromising biocontrol efficacy, microbial population and storage stability as compared to other bioformulations used in this study. Significance and Impact of the Study Pesta granules could be utilized to formulate BCA consortia into biofertilizers. This formulation could be further investigated for possible applications under agricultural field settings.
