Panama disease characterize Panama disease of banana: These symptoms often get confused with the symptoms of bacterial wilt of banana, but ways to differentiate between the two diseases include: Once a banana plant is infected, it continues to grow and any new leaves will be pale in color. Recovery is rare, but if it does occur, any new emerging suckers will already be infected and can propagate disease if planted. "Fusarium oxysporum" f. sp. "cubense" (Foc) is most prominent in banana, but some other relatives are also susceptible to infection. Different races of the disease are used to classify different major hosts
Crop scouting planting date, planting rate (spacing), row width, tillage operations, crop yields, pesticide names, rates, application dates and who applied them, fertilizer and lime applications and rates, weather patterns, soil type, soil test records (N, P, K, percent organic matter, and pH), irrigation availability, major pest problems, and anything else that could make scouting more effective. This history is very important when assessing signs of crop injuries, because they are generally ambiguous since similar abnormalities can have unrelated causes. It is best to always be prepared when entering the field, as one never know what kind of issues one will find.
