Abstract

A new banana cultivar ‘QCAV-4’ is provided that, when under significant disease pressure, remains largely free from infection by Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 (TR4). In the absence of such significant disease pressure, ‘QCAV-4’ appears to be essentially phenotypically identical to the wild type parent Cavendish Grand Nain. This includes in relation to immature and mature plant characteristics, fruit characteristics, and yield.
