Agronomic characteristics and the incidence of Fusarium in Pacovan bananas

This study aimed to evaluate vegetative traits, yield and the incidence of Panama disease in Pacovan and in the hybrids: 'Japira', 'Pacovan-Ken', ' 'Preciosa and 'Garantida', recommended for producers, and 'PV79-34' in selection, in two production cycles. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with six treatments and five replications. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and means grouped by Scott-Knott test (P <0.05). There is genetic variability between cultivars. 'Garantida' has a lower yield expressed by the mass of hands and bunches and the number of fruits. 'PV79-34' has the greatest vigor, smallest height, and with higher yield, but is susceptible to the Panama disease.
