Monoculture is more to blame.

And perhaps you should read up on modern banana cultivation. Plants
are propagated by vegetative reproduction, which means each succeeding
generation is a clone and disease resistance does not arise.

I do not say that such practices are the most biologically beneficial,
in the long run, but before you start blaming this fungal Cavendish
susceptibility on GMO, maybe you should read up a bit about that, too.

"Lorem ipsum," indeed. You posted more drivel than you recognize.
