Abstract
Fusarium vascular wilt of Musaceae, caused by strains of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense [Foc], has only been effectively managed by using genetically resistant varieties. In addition to genetic resistance, crop management strategies that focus on soil health and maintain long-lasting resistance can also impact the intensity of the epidemic. This study evaluated the effects of applying biological control agents with different antagonistic mechanisms on components of the Fusarium epidemic in Musaceae under greenhouse conditions. The study used the Foc race 1 [R1]-Gros Michel banana pathosystem as a model. Experiments under controlled conditions revealed that applying biological control agents to Gros Michel banana plants before and after Fusarium inoculation results in varying degrees of pathogen damage to the plant. When the biological control agents were applied to contaminated soil before planting, the onset of symptoms and the severity of the damage caused by the pathogen were delayed due to competition and antibiosis. While none of the treatments prevented infection by the pathogen, they delayed the timing of symptoms and reduced severity of damage. Therefore, under optimal management conditions, microorganisms may have the potential to reduce disease severity, but field evaluations are needed.
