Patreon donations: / drbojanamandic Bananas are the fruits of a variety called the Cavendish. These banana varieties are the most traded on the international market. They replaced the Gros Michel banana after it was destroyed by Panama disease. Bananas are unable to reproduce sexually, instead they propagate through identical clones. Because of this, the genetic diversity of the Cavendish banana is very low. The extreme lack of any biodiversity and the fact that the Cavendish is planted in dense rows in a monoculture without any other natural species or plants to protect them, means that the banana is extremely vulnerable to diseases, fungal epidemics and genetic mutations that can lead to eventual commercial extinction. Cavendish bananas entered mass commercial production in 1903, but did not gain prominence until Panama disease attacked the dominant Gros Michel variety in the 1960s. Because they were successfully grown in the same soils as previously affected Gros Michel plants, many assumed that Cavendish varieties were more resistant to Panama disease. Contrary to this idea, in mid-2008, reports from Sumatra and Malaysia suggested that Panama disease had begun to attack Cavendish varieties. After years of trying to contain itself outside the Americas, in mid-2019, Tropical Race 4 (TR4) Panama disease was discovered on banana farms in the coastal Caribbean region. Without a fungicide effective against TR4, Cavendish could suffer the same fate as Gros Michel. ________________________________________________________________ Download a free, detailed list of foods for the LCHF diet: _________________________________________________________ You can support the work of this channel with donations: Bank account for donations You can support the work of this channel with donations: Bank account for donations (for Serbia): 265-0000004229524-05 PayPal donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/drboj...
