Will bananas really disappear in 25?

Will 25 really disappear? I think so. There are two main factors why bananas will disappear in 25. First, global warming will lead to a large-scale reduction in banana planting; The second reason is that the fungus yellow leaf disease Tropical No.4 (TR4 for short), which causes banana yellow leaf disease, appears in banana plantations in Caribbean coastal areas. Why do they have such a great influence on bananas? Today we will talk about bananas.

the impact of global warming on bananas

in people's impression, climate warming should not have much impact on bananas, and bananas are also tropical fruits.

Because bananas are asexual, they lack evolution, and their genes remain unchanged, that is, their resistance to external stress is relatively poor. However, according to scientists' research, global warming will lead to a large-scale reduction in banana production, which is one of the reasons why bananas will disappear in 25. Next, let's talk about the second factor, the influence of banana yellow leaf disease on banana cultivation.

the influence of yellow leaf disease on banana cultivation

if you know the history of bananas, you will know that before the middle of last century, we humans ate bananas that were not like this now, but were bigger and sweeter than now, which was the only banana variety available in the world at that time. An early bacterial strain of yellow leaf disease? Yellow Leaf Disease No.1 almost wiped out seven bananas of rice (showing how great the harm of yellow leaf disease to bananas is). At the critical moment, a food company called Jinjida put all its eggs in one basket and turned to produce a banana variety that they knew could resist yellow leaf disease, even though its taste was bland, which is the banana we are eating now.

The newly discovered TR4 won't even let go of banana. Unlike the previous yellow leaf disease epidemic, there is no banana variety that can be immediately replaced to save the banana industry. At present, no varieties that can resist TR4 and are similar to the popular banana in flavor and appearance have been found, so if TR4 invades in a large area, we may soon have no bananas to eat.

to sum up, the main reason for the fragility of banana varieties is the single variety, so we must cultivate a series of different varieties of bananas before the disaster comes, not a single variety. Only when the varieties are rich and diverse can we resist the extinction disaster caused by climate and pests and diseases. That's my answer. Welcome to comment.
