| Innovation Title | Management practice based on Single Diseased Stem Removal (SDSR) for quick and effective banana recovery in Xanthomonas wilt (XW) affected regions |
| Innovation description | Single diseased stem removal is a disease management practice involving cutting a plant showing Xanthomonas wilt symptoms at soil level, sterilizing cutting tools using fire, and early male bud removal using a forked stick. It's very effective in reducing the incidence of the disease and easy to apply. It requires less labour than alternative practices. |
