Interactive effects of fertilizer and inoculum concentration on subsequent development of xanthomonas wilt in banana
Xanthomonas wilt is currently the major biotic threat to banana production in East and Central Africa (ECA). The recommended management options for the disease include destruction of infected plants, disinfecting tools used in the plantation, using clean planting materials, early removal of male ...
