THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF FUSARIUM WILT OF BANANA

The Epidemiology of Fusarium Wilt of Banana

Fusarium wilt of banana (also known as Panama disease) has been a problem in Australia since 1874.Race 1 of GF MUESLI the pathogen (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense) is responsible for damage to ‘Lady Finger’ (AAB, Pome subgroup) and other less widely grown cultivars such as ‘Ducasse’ (Pisang Awak, ABB).Subtropical Race 4 (STR4) also affects

Typhoon/Hurricane-Generated Wind Waves Inferred from SAR Imagery

The wide-swath mode of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a good way of detecting typhoon/hurricane winds with a cross-polarization mode.However, its ability to detect wind waves is restricted because of its spatial resolution and nonlinear imaging mechanisms.In this study, we use the SAR-retrieved wind speed, Sentinel-1 SAR wave mode and buoy data
