Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetTR4 Global Network
An initiative of the World Banana Forum
2020TR4 Global Network. An initiative of the World Banana Forum is the corporate brochure of the TR4 Global Network (TR4GN). It showcases the role of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations as a leader in global efforts to combat the spread of Tropical race (TR4), a fungus that is ravaging banana and plantain farms on three continents. The audience for the corporate brochure is primarily policy-makers and decision-makers, but it is also relevant to experts, academia, students, the media and the general public. Along with a historical look at the disease affecting bananas and plantains, the brochure clarifies the globally recognized terms used to discuss TR4. That is, it differentiates between: the disease (Banana Fusarium Wilt); the fungus (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense); and the current strain of fungus (Tropical race 4 or TR4). Key takeaways listed in the brochure include: there is currently no cure for TR4; TR4 can be transmitted through shoes, vehicles, farm tools and equipment, but also through drainage water, surface run-off water and floods; the most effective approach to combat TR4 is prevention of its spread into clean areas and immediate containment once it is detected; diversification of banana and plantain crops and agroecological practices that support sustainability are also key to help prevent TR4; and both international collaboration and local actions are essential to manage TR4 in affected countries. -

TR4 Global Network - An initiative of the World Banana Forum
2020The flyer, What you need to know about TR4, aims to inform the general public with basic information about Tropical race 4 (TR4). The underlying message is that actions can indeed be taken to help prevent the spread of the pest and that the way forward is for stakeholders across the banana industry to act with urgency and in a collaborative manner. Fusarium Tropical race 4 (TR4) is a strain of the soil born fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp cubense whose spores can lie dormant in the soil until a susceptible plant is established nearby. These spores infect the plant through the roots and inhabit the banana or plantain plant’s xylem vessels, blocking the flow of water and nutrients. Fungicides can't save plants that are already infected with TR4, and the fungus's spores persist in soil for decades. Therefore the most immediate approach to combat TR4 is prevention of its spread into clean areas and containment when it is detected. In the long term, diversification of crops and better use of available genetic resources are key to building resilience to the disease. Agro-ecological innovations will be increasingly important to produce varieties less susceptible to TR4. The flyer focuses on three practical items that a visitor to a banana or plantation farm can do to minimise the risk of spreading TR4. -

Une initiative du Forum mondial de la banane
2020Réseau mondial sur la TR4. Une initiative du Forum mondial de la banane est la brochure d'entreprise du réseau mondial TR4 (TR4GN). Elle présente le rôle de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) en tant que leader dans les efforts mondiaux de lutte contre la propagation de la souche tropicale 4 (TR4), un champignon qui ravage les exploitations de bananes et de bananes plantains sur trois continents. La brochure d'entreprise s'adresse avant tout aux décideurs politiques, mais elle concerne également les experts, les universitaires, les étudiants, les médias et le grand public. Outre un regard historique sur la maladie qui touche les bananes et les bananes plantains, la brochure clarifie les termes reconnus mondialement pour parler du TR4. En d'autres termes, elle établit une distinction entre: la maladie (Banana Fusarium Wilt) ; le champignon (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense); et la souche actuelle du champignon (Tropical race 4 ou TR4). -
