Abstract

A survey conducted during 2022 to 2024 in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh recorded cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) incidence in banana crops ranging from 16.81% to 25.40%. Molecular analysis identified the isolates as CMV serogroup IB, showing >98% sequence similarity with Indian isolates. CMV caused an estimated 28% yield loss. Infected plants showed delayed flowering and poor bunch development, and only 3.48% of infected plants produced marketable bunches. Nutrient management with 125% recommended fertilizer dose (RDF) and micronutrient supplementation improved bunch weight of infected plants from 9.87 to 12.8 kg and increased bunch production, although yield remained significantly lower than healthy plants. This is the first report estimating economic loss caused by CMV in banana. The findings emphasize the need for effective disease management strategies to reduce CMV losses in banana cultivation.
