The synthetic banana hybrid FB920 (Musa spp., AAA group) has been designed to be resistant to Sigatoka and Black Leaf Streak Diseases, caused respectively by Mycosphaerella musicola and Mycosphaerella fijiensis. In addition to these features, the hybrids seem less susceptible to plant-parasitic nematodes, especially the burrowing nematodes (Radopholus similis) and the lesion nematode (Pratylenchus coffeae) than classic Cavendish cultivars, such as Williams, Grande Naine, or Poyo.
