Banana cultivations of the Prata type are particularly susceptible to Panama disease (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense).
\nXStress<\/strong> is a foliar applied speciality fertiliser, containing the micro-nutrients copper, iron, manganese and zinc formulated with specific plant extracts.
\nXStress<\/strong> allows plants to continue growing under high stress conditions, when normally the plant would stop transpiration and photosynthesis.<\/p>\n

By feeding the plant essential micro-elements through the leaf and reducing the plants natural stress, XStress<\/strong> ensures cell structure and function remains unaffected, maintaining plant health. A stronger plant is naturally better at resisting disease infection (1).<\/p>\n

To see how effective XStress<\/strong> is at preventing establishment of Panama disease, a trial was set up to compare performance against the fungicide flutriafol (2).<\/p>\n

XStress<\/strong> was applied at 1.0 l\/ha and flutriafol applied at 3.2 l\/ha, each sprayed 3 times at 20 day intervals.<\/p>\n

The treatments were compared to banana plants that were healthy at the start of the trial and plants that were already diseased. Incidence of disease was measured at 4, 6 and 9 months.<\/p>\n

\"panama<\/p>\n

The results confirm that XStress<\/strong> is highly effective at reducing the infection of Panama disease by improving plant health therefore stoping the fungi from entering the plant cellular structures.<\/p>\n

Combined with traditional fungicide treatments XStress<\/strong> offers the potential for a highly effective IPM strategy or used alone for a pesticide reduction programme.<\/p>\n

(2) To investigate if XStress would help reduce the incidence of Panama disease, an experiment by APTA in Vale do Ribeira, Jaupiranga, S\u00e3o Paulo (Brazil) was conducted in a banana cultivation of Prata type between December 2014 to December 2015.
