Abstract
Satu kelompok ras baru patogen dikenali sebagai ras 4 tropika (FocTR4) adalah paling virulen dan penyebab penyakit layu pisang di Asia Tenggara, termasuk Malaysia. Langkah-langkah kawalan semasa termasuk penggunaan racun kulat dan kultivar rintang serta pencegahan kemasukan penyakit ini ke kawasan baru tidak menunjukkan kesan memberangsangkan. A new race of the pathogen, known as tropical race 4 (FocTR4), is the most virulent and the causal agent of Fusarium wilt disease in Southeast Asia including Malaysia. Current control measures include the use of fungicides and resistant cultivars, and preventing the introduction of the disease into new areas have not shown promising results.
