A disease seen as a major threat to Australia's $500 million banana industry has been found in the Northern Territory, three years after it was officially eradicated.
Restrictions placed on only one property so farNT Farmers chief executive Paul Burke said said the disease was confirmed in plants on a rural property in the Batchelor region, south of Darwin, on Tuesday afternoon.
"It may well be limited to one or several properties in that [Batchelor] area, or it may be more widespread, so we're doing a lot of surveillance," Dr Walters said.
