However, there are many obstacles in the development process, one of which is an important disease that attacks banana plants, namely Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV). BBTV disease can reduce banana plant production by 10%-30% and can even reach 100%, therefore BBTV disease is classified as very severe. The purpose of this study was to determine the spread of Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) disease in several regencies/cities in South Sumatra Province.  Field research was carried out from April to October 2023 located in 12 districts / cities in South Sumatra.  Field research applied purposive sampling method with BBTV symptomatic bananas as coordinate points and then photographed using a timestamp camera. The results showed that in each regency/city in South Sumatra, the number of clumps and the number of stems of pisang gadis were varied and significantly different. The percentage of attack obtained also varied, the highest percentage of attack was found in Banyuasin Regency with a percentage of 18% and the district with the lowest percentage of attack (0%) was found in North Musi Rawas Regency, Lahat Regency, Prabumulih City, and Lubuklinggau City. The conclusion from the Field research is that the distribution of banana girl population in South Sumatra is evenly distributed with the percentage of BBTV attack also evenly distributed in each region.]]>
