Management of black sigatoka in Cameroon [PDF]
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 ...

Black Sigatoka Classification Using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
In this paper we present a methodology for the automatic recognition of black Sigatoka in commercial banana crops. This method uses a LeNet convolutional neural network to detect the progress of infection by the disease in different regions of a leaf image; using this information, we trained a decision tree in order to classify the level of infection ...

Silicon Reduces Black Sigatoka Development in Banana [PDF]
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

First Report of Black Sigatoka in Florida
Black Sigatoka, caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis, is widely recognized as the most important disease of banana, Musa spp. It has spread rapidly in the Western Hemisphere since it first appeared in Honduras in 1972, and is now found in the Caribbean basin in Cuba, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic, and on the mainland from central Mexico south to ...

First Report of Black Sigatoka in Bolivia
Black Sigatoka, caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis, is the most important disease of banana worldwide (1). It affects cultivars of the Cavendish subgroup that are used for export and important, locally consumed cooking and dessert bananas and plantains, reducing yields by 50% or more.
