Potential management of fusarium wilt of banana using antagonistic bacteria and inducer chemical compounds (DL-3β-amino butyric acid and salicylic acid).

Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense ras tropika 4 (FocTR4) merupakan penyebab penyakit layu pisang (penyakit Panama), dan dianggap sebagai salah satu ancaman yang paling serius kepada pengeluaran pisang di dunia. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk memencilkan, mengecam, mencirikan, serta menilai secara in vitro aktiviti bakteria peransang pertumbuhan (PGPB) dan meneroka dua sebatian perangsang pertumbuhan, (DL-3β-aminobutyric asid (BABA) dan asid salisilik (SA)) untuk menindas FocTR4. Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense tropical race 4 (FocTR4), is the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of banana (Panama disease), which was the one of the most serious threats to banana production . Therefore, the objectives of this study were to isolate, identify, characterize as well as to screen for in vitro plant growth promoting bacterial (PGPB) activities and to explore two inducer chemical compounds DL-3β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) and salicylic acid (SA) to inhibit FocTR4 growth.
