TABLE 2.
Target domains for the assessed research options to address Fusarium wilt of bananas.
| Research option | Improved exclusion, surveillance, eradication, and containment (ESEC) | Integrated crop and disease management (ICDM) | Conventional breeding of Fusarium resistant banana cultivars (CBRC) | Genetically modified Fusarium resistant banana cultivars (GMRC) |
| Target domain | Production areas of all six cultivar groups in countries in Africa, LAC, and Asia/Pacific where Fusarium Foc TR4 is either already present or will very likely spread in the near future | Production areas of all six cultivar groups in countries in Africa, LAC, and Asia/Pacific where soils are infested with Fusarium R1 and/or TR4 | Production area of all six cultivar groups in Africa, LAC, and Asia/Pacific | Production area of “Cavendish AAA” in countries where local markets are important (export-oriented countries are less likely to adopt GM varieties due to political and consumer concerns in importing countries) |
| Applicable cultivars | Cavendish AAA; other AAA + Gros Michel + AA; East African Highland AAA; AAB Plantain; other AAB; ABB | Foc TR4: •Cavendish AAA; other AAA + Gros Michel + AA; East African Highland AAA; AAB Plantain; other AAB; ABB (in Asia/Pacific and LAC) | • Cavendish AAA; other AAA + Gros Michel + AA; East African Highland AAA; AAB Plantain; other AAB; ABB | Cavendish AAA |
