Phytosanitary survey on banana plants under organic production system.
Visual Diagnosis, Resistant Varieties, Fungal Diseases.
Banana farming is present in all the tropical regions of the world and its major component, including Brazil. The phytosanitary nature of banana farming is worrying, and many pathogens of the fungal nature enter the crop, some very severely, such as black sigatoka. Further leakage and resistance to resistant and pathogen tolerant varieties are the ones that further reduce production costs by reducing the use of agrochemicals. In this study, the categories Prata Maravilha, FHIA 18, BRS Princesa and BRS Platina had their successful performance in the environmental evaluations of the municipality of Seropédica-RJ, under organic management, aiming at obtaining subsidies that may aid in the development of banana-growing in Rio de Janeiro state. The first two tests were not satisfactory for yellow sigatoka disease, the disease widely disseminated in RJ, and those were satisfactory for this and other diseases, its susceptibility to black sigatoka restricts its cultivation in areas known to be affected by this disease.
