Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) poses a significant threat to global banana production. This systematic review updates current knowledge on the efficacy of various antagonistic microorganisms in controlling Foc, considering the recent spread of this disease to new regions. The studies were systematically analyzed, focusing on methodologies, results, and conclusions to provide a comprehensive overview of current research and its practical implications. A total of 118 studies were reviewed, covering the use of antagonistic microorganisms such as Trichoderma spp., Bacillus spp., Streptomyces spp., and Pseudomonas spp., both in pure cultures and in consortia. Most studies focused on controlling Foc TR4 in Cavendish subgroup bananas and originated from Asia. Microbial consortia demonstrated a higher control percentage with lower variability, particularly in genera such as Pseudomonas....

Este díptico técnico presenta estrategias para el manejo y contención de Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense raza 4 tropical (Foc R4T), patógeno que amenaza la producción mundial de banano y plátano, presente en 23 países y capaz de causar pérdidas de hasta el 100% en plantaciones. El documento describe la importancia del manejo de la salud del suelo como estrategia clave para la contención del patógeno, mediante el uso de agentes microbianos de control biológico, especialmente cuatro géneros predominantes: Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Trichoderma y Streptomyces. Se detallan métodos de aplicación que incluyen inoculación directa en vivero o plantones, mediante baño de raíces y riego con suspensiones de agentes microbianos. Los beneficios esperados incluyen la reducción de la incidencia de Foc R4T, mejora de la estructura y fertilidad del suelo, inducción de resistencia en las ...

The high-Andean grass Jarava ichu (Poaceae) plays a vital role in water regulation and aquifer recharge. However, its limited use is often linked to forest fires, highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives. Therefore, this study aims to explore the valorization of ichu as a substrate for the cultivation of Pleurotus spp. (P. citrinopileatus, P. djamor, and P. ostreatus) and to evaluate the potential of the residual substrate as a biofertilizer, offering an ecological alternative to grassland burning in the Peruvian Andes. Samples of ichu from the district of Tomás (Lima, Peru) were used as culture substrate, analyzing productivity indicators such as crop cycle (CC), biological efficiency (BE), and production rate (PR), together with the nutritional profile of the fungi and the chemical properties of the residual substrate. The results showed an average biological efficiency of 1...
