Abstract
Recognising that Xanthomas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm), causal agent of Xanthomons wilt (Xw) of banana, is endemic to the Great Lakes region, the Pest Risk Analysis(PRA) considers the justification for implementing Regulated Non-Quarantine Pest (RNQP) phytosanitary measures for control of Xcm in banana plants-for-planting. A PRA for RNQP must establish the association of the pest with the planting material, the contribution of the planting material to overall Xw levels within the PRA area and then the economic gain to be achieved by any management measures to be applied over those that are already in effect.
