Fusarium wilt TR4 may have reached Latin America

Fusarium wilt TR4 may have reached Latin America

Jul 22, 2019 | Publications, Publicity

In Colombia four plantations in northern Colombia have been quarantined because of suspected infection with Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 (TR4). This finding has yet to be confirmed. As can been seen in Asia, the extreme damaging banana disease can wipe out entire plantations. “So, we should take this extremely seriously,” says Gert Kema, a plant pathologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.
