Summary. Studies were carried out to assess the efficacy of thiabendazole (TBZ or [2-(4-thiazolyl)benzimidazole]) in controlling fungal rot damage of bananas in the Windward Islands. A dipping treatment proved to be more effective, especially in the reduction of rot in the banana cushions, than application of the fungicide by spraying, but both methods of application resulted in a very satisfactory control of fungal rots. Chemical analysis of the treated bananas showed that regardless of mode of application and location on the hand the residue levels were well below the limits permitted by American standards.
