Warm soil temperature, poor drainage, light soils and high soil moisture are congenial for the spread of the disease.  Control: Severely affected plants should be uprooted and burnt. Highly infected soil should not be replanted with banana at least for 3-4 years. Use of disease-free planting material and resistant cultivar are recommended.
