Fusarium wilt is the most destructive disease on banana. One of control measures that can be performed to control this disease is by increasing plant immunity. The aim of this study was to find out the disease resistance profile of banana to fusarium wilt through resistance induction with Salicylic acid. This study was performed at Plant Pest and Disease Laboratory, Indonesian Tropical Fruit Research Institute, started from May to December 2018. Banana cultivars used in this study were cv. Barangan and Raja Kinalun at pre-planting stage. The treatments were the induction methods consisted of control (sterile water), Salicylic acid spraying to entire part of plant and the root soaking with 5 mM Salicylic acid solution. The plants were artificially inoculated with F. oxysporum f.sp cubense VCG 01213/16 (TR4). Each treatment was repeated 3 times with 10 plants for each treatment unit. The result showed that. banana cv. Barangan inoculated with Foc (control) was highly susceptible while cv. Raja Kinalun in the same treatment had moderate resistant criterion. Salicylic acid can induce resistance to fusarium wilt disease on cv Barangan with moderate resistant criterion compared to highly susceptible on its positive control.
