Guy Blomme, Elizabeth Kearsley, and Walter Ocimati (2023). Xanthomonas wilt of banana. In: Drenth, A. and Kema, G.H.J. (ed.), Achieving sustainable cultivation of bananas, Volume 3: Diseases and pests. Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing, Cambridge, UK, ISBN: 978 1 78676 981 7, https://dx.doi.org/10.19103/AS.2022.0108.10

The book and included chapters provide, and we cite the publisher:

  • a comprehensive analysis of the major pests and diseases affecting global banana production, including their impact and occurrence, as well as the modes of disease transmission and distribution
  • insight into the economic impact of individual pests and diseases on farm profit margins and provides examples of the quantified impacts of losses per ha and whole farm/plantation.
  • and reviews current management strategies available to banana growers and producers to control and/or prevent future outbreaks of pests and disease

We refer to the publisher website for more information.
