Abstract
Gloeosporium musarum Cke. & Massee is the most important fungus associated with finger‐stalk rot of Jamaican Lacatan bananas, Fusarium spp. being of minor importance. Sodium salicylanilide (Shirlan WS), at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%, provided approximately 30, 50 and 65% control, respectively, when inoculated fruit was dipped for 1 min. in the compound: severe phytotoxic effects were caused by all concentrations. When Shirlan WS treatment was followed by rinsing in water, there were no phytotoxic effects and approximately 15, 35 and 40% control of finger‐stalk rot, respectively, was obtained. 1.0 and 1.5% Shirlan WS also effected good control of anthracnose ( G. musarum ), both with and without post‐treatment washing. Moderate to poor control of Gloeosporium rot was obtained when Shirlan WS/washing treatment was delayed for more than 24 hr. after inoculation. A 2 min. immersion period in Shirlan WS was more effective than shorter periods: a momentary dip was ineffective. The antibiotic nystatin (200 and 400 p.p.m.) had no significant effect on the incidence of finger‐stalk rot: also, the severity of main‐stalk rot was not reduced appreciably. Practical considerations arising from the possibility of commercial‐scale treatment with Shirlan WS are discussed.
