Silicon Reduces Black Sigatoka Development in Banana [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2012 The effect of silicon (Si) uptake on the susceptibility of Musa acuminata to Mycosphaerella fijiensis was investigated in three experiments conducted under controlled conditions. Plants were grown in the presence of Si or not, in pots adapted for a hydroponic culture system or in pots filled with compost. The banana leaves were inoculated after 4 or 6

Management of black sigatoka in Cameroon [PDF]
, 2006 In Cameroon, Mycosphaerella fijiensis was reported for the first time in 1981 and the control against black leaf streak disease represents the highest production cost which can attend up to 10% of total production cost. In fact, the epidemiological context which exists in Cameroon is particularly favourable to the disease notably in the rainy season ...
