Banana Fusarium wilt (TR-4) poses a significant threat to banana crops, causing substantial losses for growers and spreading rapidly through soil and water. However, a ray of hope has emerged in the form of ICAR-FUSICONT technology, a groundbreaking solution that enables farmers to diagnose and manage this destructive disease. The ICAR-FUSICONT technology has not only proven effective in combating Fusarium wilt (TR-4) but has also been successfully implemented in regions such as Bihar, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh. These areas, once grappling with significant losses, have witnessed a turnaround in the battle against banana Fusarium wilt, thanks to the innovative approach offered by this technology. Acknowledging the urgent need for widespread implementation, AgIn has played a pivotal role in transferring the ICAR-FUSICONT technology to the agricultural sector. In a collaborative effort, the technology was jointly developed by ICAR-CSSRI, Karnal, and ICAR-CISH, Lucknow. Through strategic partnerships with two industries based in Maharashtra and Karnataka, AgIn has facilitated the integration of this technology into agricultural practices, offering a beacon of hope to banana growers in these regions. The results are promising, with the ICAR-FUSICONT technology demonstrating the capability to control up to 95% of the Banana Fusarium wilt (TR-4) disease. This not only minimizes losses for farmers but also contributes to the overall sustainability of banana cultivation. The successful implementation of this technology serves as a testament to the power of collaborative efforts between research institutions, industry players, and agricultural stakeholders in addressing and overcoming agricultural challenges
