This comprehensive book offers a thorough exploration of the diverse range of diseases, disorders, and injuries that can severely impact banana, abacá, and enset crops, as well as the fungi, bacteria, phytoplasmas, viruses, nematodes, and abiotic factors involved. The monoculture of certain banana cultivars in large plantations has made these crops particularly vulnerable to catastrophic losses, while smallholders also face significant challenges. To address these emerging threats, innovative approaches to breeding, crop management, and handling are being developed. Handbook of Diseases of Banana, Abacá, and Enset serves as a valuable resource, providing both descriptive and illustrative information on diseases. It covers various aspects, including the origin and classification of bananas, the safe movement of Musa germplasm, and banana breeding for disease resistance. The book also delves into recent areas of growing research on important diseases such as black leaf streak, Fusarium wilt, Xanthomonas bacterial wilt, and bunchy top. Furthermore, it highlights significant advancements in understanding pathogens that cause less severe but widespread diseases in banana, abacá, and enset crops. Authored by an international team of experts, this handbook is an essential reference for banana doctors worldwide. It serves as a valuable field and laboratory guide, as well as a comprehensive source of information for researchers, students, and professionals engaged in studying diseases affecting these crops.
