• Abstract : The bunchy top disease in bananas made its appearance in Australia in 1913, being introduced very probably in infected banana suckers from Fidji. It has since spread through the banana areas of northeast New South Wales and southeastern Queensland, ruining the industry in many centres. All attempts made in the past to stem the march of the disease have failed. Recently bunchy top has appeared in isolated areas on the north coast of Queensland. The disease has also occasioned extensive damage in Fidji, Ceylon and Egypt.
