India is the top country in Banana production in the world as 2019. Banana production in India was 30.5 M.T. that account for 26.02% of world’s banana production. The top five countries are China, Indonesia, and Brazil etc. 54% world total banana production estimated at 117 M.T. in 2019. Banana and planting (Musa spp.), produced in 10.3 million ha in the tropics, are among the world's top 10 food crops. They are vegetatively propagated using suckers or tissue culture plants and grown almost as constant plantations. They are susceptible to pests and pathogens, especially viruses which cause reduction in yield and are also delays to the international exchange of germ psalm. The most economically important viruses of banana and plantain are Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV), is a circular single-strand (s.s.) plant DNA virus, a complex of banana streak viruses (BSVs) and Banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV).
