Résumé
Fusarium wilt, Mycosphaerella leaf spot diseases and nematodes are recognised as the most important pests and diseases of bananas and plantains. This document describes protocols for the performance evaluation of resistance to these pathogens and parasites. Contrary to in-depth evaluations, which are more complete disease resistance evaluations carried out on a smaller number of sites (INIBAP Technical Guidelines No. 6) performance evaluations use a simplified protocol to obtain information on cultivar/hybrid performance under local conditions as well as basic information on disease resistance and tolerance.
