  • Market Access of Papua New Guinea Bananas (Musa Spp.) with Particular Respect to Banana Fly (Bactrocera Musae (Tryon)) (Diptera: Tephritidae)
    Market Access of Papua New Guinea Bananas (Musa spp.) with Particular Respect to Banana Fly (Bactrocera musae (Tryon)) (Diptera: Tephritidae) Amanda Mararuai B.Sc Agriculture, Graduate Diploma in Applied Science A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Natural Resource Sciences Queensland University of Technology Brisbane Australia April 2010 Keywords Bactrocera musae, banana fly, bananas, biosecurity, host availability, invasion biology, invasive, market access, Musa spp., novel environment, Papua New Guinea, pest risk analysis, population distribution ii Abstract International market access for fresh commodities is regulated by international accepted phytosanitary guidelines, the objectives of which are to reduce the biosecurity risk of plant pest and disease movement. Papua New Guinea (PNG) has identified banana as a potential export crop and to help meet international market access requirements, this thesis provides information for the development of a pest risk analysis (PRA) for PNG banana fruit. The PRA is a three step process which first identifies the pests associated with a particular commodity or pathway, then assesses the risk associated with those pests, and finally identifies risk management options for those pests if required. As the first step of the PRA process, I collated a definitive list on the organisms associated with the banana plant in PNG using formal literature, structured interviews with local experts, grey literature and unpublished file material held in PNG field research stations. I identified 112 organisms (invertebrates, vertebrate, pathogens and weeds) associated with banana in PNG, but only 14 of these were reported as commonly requiring management. For these 14 I present detailed information summaries on their known biology and pest impact.

Common Name Banana freckle Scientific Name Previously, freckle was Phyllosticta musarum and its sexual form, Guignardia musae; now four species are recognised: Phyllosticta cavendishii, Phyllosticta musarum, Phyllosticta maculata, and Guignardia stevensii. Distribution Narrow. Asia, US (Hawaii), Oceania. Freckle was previously identified in the Pacific islands as Phyllosticta musarum (sexual state Guignardia musae). Under those names it was present in Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Solomon Islands. From a recent (molecular and morphological) study Guignardia stevensii occurs only in Hawaii, and both Phyllosticta maculata and Phyllosticta cavendishii occur in the South Pacific, but their distribution is uncertain. It appears that Phyllosticta musarum now has a narrow distribution. Also, the study and subsequent research indicates that Phyllosticta maculata is present in Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and the South Pacific islands, and Phyllosticta cavendishii occurs in Australia (eradicated in 2019), East Timor, Hawaii, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Vietnam, and in the Pacific islands (Tonga and Micronesia).

The epithet has, however, been introduced on three separate occasions and only one name is valid. We therefore investigated this problem. We examined the types of G. musae Racib., G. musae F. Stevens and G. musae Syd. & P. Syd. and also made fresh collections from banana in northern Thailand. Guignardia musae Racib. is the earliest name and takes precedence over the other two names which are hononyms. G. musae F. Stevens is a different species and therefore a new name G.
