Bananas Threatened by Fungal Disease

真菌威胁香蕉作物

A fungal disease is threatening banana crops around the world, and could result in the extinction of the Cavendish. The fungus, which stays in the soil and spreads very easily, prevents the fruit from taking in water. Burning down plantations and starting over with a different crop is one of the only known solutions, though many farmers cannot afford to take these drastic measures. Banana experts say that history is repeating itself and that the banana industry did not learn from a similar disease that wiped out a banana crop in the 1950s. Relying on one breed instead of the many varieties that are available, makes it difficult to recover from a serious outbreak.

全球香蕉作物正在遭受真菌威胁,或将导致卡文迪什香蕉的绝种。这种真菌存在于土壤当中,蔓延快,并阻碍水果汲取养分。对于许多农民来说,他们无法承担起焚烧农作物,更换种植品种等大规模措施,但是这也是目前唯一所知的办法之一。香蕉专家称历史正在重演,而我们并没有从50年代香蕉作物大量灭绝的事件中吸取教训。尽管品种繁多,但是从恢复角度来讲,仅靠单一物种是非常困难的。
