Development of biological control methods for post-harvest rots of banana.

Treated and untreated banana fruits imported into the UK from different banana growing areas (Jamaica, Windward Islands, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic) were used as a source of inoculum to establish a collection of >150 pathogenic fungal isolates. These were identified, and the frequencies of occurrence of the main crown rot pathogens from the different areas were recorded. The most common fungi isolated were Colletotrichum spp. and Fusarium spp. Attempts were made to establish the level of pathogenicity of the most commonly isolated fungi, and the sensitivity of some pathogens to thiabendazole was assessed. Putative biocontrol agents were also isolated from banana material, and their potential for control was determined using a previously developed bioassay.
