- Fusariumverwelk versprei steeds op die plaas, maar geen gevalle is weg van die plantasie aangeteken nie. 'n Aantal beperkingsmaatre?ls is ingebring, en die nuwe gevalle mag selfs die gevolg wees van vroe?re verspreiding (voordat die verantwoordelike patogeen ontdek is). Die patogeen is nog nie van enige van die kook-piesangs wat op die plaas of in die area verbou word, ge?soleer nie.
- Verteenwoordigers van oostelike, suidelike en sentraal Afrika het in Stellenbosch, Suid-Afrika vergader om die inbraak van Foc TR4 in die kontinent te bespreek. Gedurende hierdie vergadering, is feitlike data oor die siekte in Mosambiek met delegate gedeel, wat NARS en NPPOs in hul onderskeie lande verteenwoordig het; asook CG sentres, universiteite, policy makers, collaborating partners and donors. Thus, African institutions are fully informed about the threat of Foc TR4, and have jointly developed a strategy plan to protect bananas on the continent.
- I also visited the FAO and investors of Matanuska last week, and can ensure you that all parties are committed to not allow the fungus to cause destruction to bananas in the rest of Africa. They realise that an immense effort is required to contain the fungus on-farm, and have invested substantially in this regard. The worst decision for them to make is to simply leave the area and allow others to walk through abandoned fields.
