The failure of bio-control agents (BCAs) in suppressing Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc-TR4) was reported in vivo although antagonism was obtained from in vitro dual culture assay. This study aims to develop rapid assays to validate the antagonism of BCAs using detached banana...
