I havent actually quantitatively looked at it but I have all 3 in close proximity along with gran nain dwarf super plantain and dwarf pr plantain. Ive never had sigatoka on fhia 1 or fhia 18. Sh3640 has less sigatoka than the cavendish, plantain, and hua moa that are around it. Quite a bit less than the dwarf brazillian two plants away too.
