Various FAO divisions collaborated to organize a series of webinars focused on capacity development and awareness raising on various topics related to Fusarium wilt of Musaceae, Tropical Race 4 (TR4). The webinar series aimed technical teams from national and regional plant protection organizations (NPPO and RPPO), private sector companies, corporations and associations of banana producers and exporters from Latin America and the Caribbean and other geographical areas. Academics and scientists from different universities and regional and international research centers linked to banana production also participated. The conference focused on providing an overview of the context and impact of the disease in Latin America, including updates on biosecurity measures, surveillance and TR4 management, covering the possibilities of using mobile applications and remote sensing technologies, advances in biological control, obtaining promising clones and procedures for the introduction of Musaceae plant materials safely. The first session focused on the current context of the disease in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting challenges, economic impact, and opportunities for collaboration.
