Bunchy top of bananas in Australia Bunchy top disease threatened the banana industry in Australia in the l92Os. The virus that causes bunchy top is thought to have been introduced from Fiji in infected suckers in 1913. In Lg22 banana production in New South Wales was 433,OOO cases from about 2,226 hectares. In 1925 production had fallen to 60,000 cases and the area planted to bananas had fallen to 607 hectares due to the effects of bunchy top. It was not until the means of spread of the virus was established that the banana industry recovered. The virus was shown to be transmitted in infected planting material and by the banana aphid. In 1927, government legislation was passed that quarantined certain areas where the disease occurred and restricted movement of banana plants from these areas. This prevented the spread of the disease to new areas. This, combined with the destruction of diseased plants, enabled the banana industry to recover from the effects of the bunchy top epidemic.
