ROBLES CARRION, Angel Rolando; HERRERA ISLA, Lidcay  y  TORRES GUTIERREZ, Roldán. Babaco (Vasconcellea heilbornii var. pentagona Badillo). Major plant pathogens and control strategies. Ctro. Agr. [online]. 2016, vol.43, n.2, pp. 83-92. ISSN 0253-5785.

This work was carried out with the aim of documenting the importance of Babaco for the Andean region, its main plant pathogens, and possible control strategies and integrated management, emphasizing the MVB. Was performed a systematic review of scientific papers published in prestigious journals and thesis diplomas, masters and doctorates from various universities. As a criterion for inclusion-exclusion studies were taken into account in the genus Vasconcellea. Ecuador has 15 of the 21 described species, of which more than half are located in the province of Loja. Vascular Wilt Babaco (MVB) is caused by a complex of Fusarium fungi that interact with the plant. There are no integrated management strategies for Vascular Wilt Babaco scientifically proven.
