Development of TR4 Fusarium-resistant varieties

Rahan Meristem Research and Development Department is involved in the development of banana varieties resistant to Fusarium TR4. The “GAL” variety was improved and clones that showed TR4 resistance under greenhouse condition were selected. These clones are in a field trial in a heavily infected area in the Philippines in the past year. The results look promising, the trees have bloomed and gave a very good first yield. Lately we started a new project to develop another resistant variety based on our short Valery variety
