abstract = "Fusarium wilt is increasingly destructive for banana production in the Philippines and abroad. It is caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4 (Foc TR4) and alternative management of the disease was the use of microbial agents. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different rates of vermicompost tea (VT) with effective microorganisms (EM) on the capacity to control the Fusarium wilt. Vermicompost tea and effective microorganisms were prepared using the standard procedure. After 28 days of application of treatments, inoculation of Foc TR4 was done.  Different rates of VT (62.50ml/L, 31.25ml/L, 46.88ml/L and 125ml/L) with EM (40ml/L) were tested. The results confirmed that VT at 62.50ml/L with EM (40ml/L) reduced Fusarium wilt incidence (55%), disease severity (Moderately Effective) and delayed the symptom appearance (11.75 days)",
