These diseases are real problems, but it would be silly to think there has been nothing done about them. They have been around long before this little article came out and thousands of researchers all over the world have already been working on correcting them for years and helping the farmers in practical ways. The diseases they mention specifically are Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) and Banana Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW), do some research on those names and you will see how much work is being put into combating them.
