The fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (syn. Fusarium odoratissimum) (Foc TR4) causes vascular wilt in Musaceae plants and is considered the most lethal for these crops. In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), it was reported for the first time in Colombia (2019), later in Peru (2021), and recently declared in Venezuela (2023). This work aimed to analyze the evolution of Foc TR4 in Musaceae in LAC between 2018 and 2022. This perspective contains a selection of topics related to Foc TR4 in LAC that address and describe (i) the threat of Foc TR4 in LAC, (ii) a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of Foc TR4 in LAC, (iii) the current situation of Foc TR4 in Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela, (iv) medium-term prospects in LAC member countries, and (v) export trade and local food security. In this study, the presence of Foc TR4 in Venezuela and the possible consequences of the production of Musaceae in the long term were reported for the first time. In conclusion, TR4 is a major threat to banana production in Latin America and the world, and it is important to take measures to control the spread of the fungus and minimize its impact on the banana industry. It is important to keep working on the control of Foc TR4, which requires the participation of the local and international industry, researchers, and consumers, among others, to prevent the disappearance of bananas.
Preliminary survey, diversity, and population density of mites in banana, Musa AAA (Cavendish subgroup) cv. Williams in Peru
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-02-01) Escobar García, Héctor Alonso; Andrade, Daniel Junior
Banana is produced mainly by smallholder farmers and considered a staple food in many developing countries. This study aimed to evaluate the diversity and population densities of mites in plants of Musa AAA (Cavendish subgroup) cv. Williams in Peru. Mites were collected every fortnight for 14 months (February 2016 to March 2017) from a banana crop system located at the Universidad Nacional de Piura, northwestern Peru. The following species were found: Tetranychus abacae (Tetranychidae), Neoseiulus fallacoides and Euseius concordis (Phytoseiidae). This is the first report for T. abacae and N. fallacoides in Peru. The most abundant mite was T. abacae, which was found in all evaluations and had the lowest populations between June and August, corresponding to the winter time locally. Both N. fallacoides and E. concordis were found in very low numbers. Knowing mite species in banana plants is essential for a proper crop management, mainly for pest control strategies.
Sistemas de producción de musáceas en Perú
(Bioversity International, 2022-12-31) Rojas Llanque, Juan Carlos; Arévalo Quinde, Cinthya Geraldine; Marín Horna, Julio Ernesto; Dita Rodriguez, Miguel Ángel
Este documento se elaboró como parte de las actividades del proyecto “Fortaleciendo conocimientos, capacidad de diagnóstico y buenas prácticas frente a la amenaza de Fusarium y otros problemas fitosanitarios para las familias productoras de plátanos del Perú”, implementado por la Alianza de Bioversity International y el CIAT, el Instituto Nacional de Innovación Agraria (INIA), el Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria (SENASA) y la Secretaría Técnica de CGIAR en Perú. Está orientado a productores, estudiantes, técnicos y profesionales del rubro musáceas, que buscan ampliar sus conocimientos y fortalecer sus capacidades técnicas para mejorar la toma de decisiones en los sistemas productivos de estos cultivos.
