Abstract

The banana constitutes a food of the basic diet of the Colombian and its productive and phytosanitary problems are taken care of as a priority by the governmental authorities. The present degree work was the result of a business practice in the Mayor's Office of Toledo and its objective was to evaluate the situation of phytopathogens in the Musa paradisiaca banana crops in 20 farms of this municipality in Norte de Santander. The main foliar and root diseases of the plantain crop were evaluated using 4 different varieties (chocheco, banana, banana and Dominican); present in the municipality. An evaluation was carried out at 20 banana plantations at random from the most affected sidewalks of the municipality, where the incidence and severity of foliar diseases and a root sampling to evaluate the presence of nematodes were determined.
