Invasion and saturation risk of pathogens and pests based on global cropland connectivity: the case of banana, cassava, potato, sweet potato, and yam
Xanthomonas wilt (XW) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) is an important constraint to banana production in East and Central Africa. The use of clean planting materials (CPM) for establishing new fields/ re-planting rouged fields/mats is recommended. However, banana is mainly p...
