TR4 Global Network (TR4GN) materials published and available for download!

Concrete solutions on how to effectively combat Fusarium TR4 - a destructive transboundary pest that devastates banana and plantain crops - are now available at your fingertips.

Through the TR4GN initiative, the World Banana Forum (WBF) facilitated by FAO continues to provide support to banana and plantain producers around the world in the common fight against Fusarium TR4. 

The seventeen newly published awareness and orientation materials are part of a comprehensive toolkit that includes an interactive website and a mailbox to contact the facilitators. They are now available in three languages: English, Spanish and French, and can be found in the “Resources” section of the website along with many other useful materials. 

The production of these materials - a joint effort of the WBF and its TR4 Task Force - was made possible by the work of FAO subject matter experts and communication specialists.
