Boerenhart, a supplier of fresh and local products will offer the bananas as &#8216;regional product&#8217; to restaurants and hospitals in the region of Wageningen. The cultivation took place on two types of substrates: coco peat and rock wool. This allows the growth of banana without the settlement of aggressive fungi.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the greenhouses of the experimental farm Unifarm in Wageningen a unique research experiment has been carried out since January. Bananas grow in the greenhouse in pots and on a substrate, both artificial media for plant growth. &#8220;For the 100th anniversary of WUR, we developed this plan together with the local cooperation Boerenhart: the cultivation of a regional banana in the Wageningen greenhouses,&#8221; says Professor of Tropical Plant Pathology Gert Kema. &#8220;With this experiment we will investigate whether this cultivation offers prospects for further research into mastering Fusarium wilt. This is due to a soil borne fungal pathogen that threatens the banana production throughout the world. So we took the banana out of the soil.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about the Dutch banana <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Read more about the Dutch banana here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wur.nl\/en\/newsarticle\/Sustainable-bananas-in-greenhouses-first-Dutch-bananas-harvested.htm\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fusariumwilt.org\/index.php\/en\/news-events\/\">Back to News page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers from Wageningen University &amp; Research are harvesting the first Dutch bananas this week.
