Fusarium wilt of banana (Musa spp.), caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtend.: Fr. f. sp. cubense (EF Smith) Snyder & Hansen, was first reported from Panama as early as 1890 and thus has been commonly known as Panama disease (23). The disease is widespread in banana-growing regions of Asia, Africa, Australia, and the tropical Americas, and is one of the most catastrophic plant diseases in the world, destroying more than 40,000 ha of banana in Central and South America over a period of 50 years.Prior to 1967, there were only three races of F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense on members of Musaceae. Race 1 attacks Gros Michel, the favorite commercial banana cultivar for world trade in many countries. For more than 60 years, it was the most serious problem in banana cultivation in tropical America. The disease was under control only after the replacement of the susceptible Gros Michel with the resistant Cavendish banana cultivar in the 1960s (23). Race 2 affects only the hybrid triploid Bluggoe (ABB), while race 3 attacks Heliconia spp. and is nonpathogenic or weakly pathogenic on Musa spp.(24).
