dc.description.abstractBanana (Musa sp.) is a major fruit crop mostly in the tropics making its contribution vital to the economies of many countries. However, this crop is continually being devastated with several fungal pathogens. This study was conducted to identify and morphologically characterize fungal diseases infecting tissue-cultured bananas at DMMMSU-NLUC and assess their disease prevalence and incidence. Sixty-three months old banana plants were assessed and where diseased plant parts were collected for characterization. Results revealed that the fungal pathogens that infected the tissue grown banana plants were Curvularia sp., Fusarium sp. and Mycosphaerella sp. or Black Sigatoka. A high percent disease prevalence of 100% and incidence of 98% indicated that bananas propagated from tissue cultured were very susceptible to the three fungal diseases. A similar study may be conducted to further verify results by using molecular identification of the fungal pathogens to the species level.
