Abstract
One derivative (Param-A) of a water-soluble compound of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone has been commercially launched to induce resistance against Panama disease in bananas, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.cubense.This paper reports on a long-term experiment in order to verify the improvements that Param-A can provide in unfavourable banana culture conditions, such as those of a plantation seriously affected by Panama disease and in a soil with deficient drainage and high salinity.The results demonstrated that Param-A sprays decreased disease occurrence and delayed symptom appearance significantly.Sprays of Param-A every 60 days shortened the time from plant flowering to fruit cutting, and resulted in significantly higher yields.
