Contents

1) Foc R&D Breakout discussion objectives i. Prevention ii. Mitigation iii. Strategic research to fill knowledge gaps

2) Pest and diseases: i. Rankings ii. Disaggregated by cultivar

iii. Disease management tactics

3) Cultivars grown:

4) Major agencies involved in banana R&D

5) Needs to improve national R&D

3

1) Prevention i. Quarantine ii. Capacity building iii. Public awareness iv. Developing tools (diagnostics, scouting etc)

2) Mitigation (ACIAR/DA-BAR work): i. Preventing inter-/intra-farm spread ii. Introducing resistant cultivars iii. Biological control iv. Eradication protocols v. Chemicals (disinfestants/ corm treatments vi. Integrating with controlling other diseases (BBTD etc)

3) Research needed: i. to improve measures 1&2 above- e.g. Resistance sources/

mechanisms and molecular/ genomics studies ii. Include linkages with other regions, partners, CGIAR/Bioversity
