Forecasting Black Sigatoka Infection Risks with Latent Neural ODEs
CoRR, 2020 Black Sigatoka disease severely decreases global banana production, and climate change aggravates the problem by altering fungal species distributions. Due to the heavy financial burden of managing this infectious disease, farmers in developing countries face significant banana crop losses.

Efficient screening procedure for black sigatoka disease of banana
African Crop Science Journal, 2015 Current methods for screening for reaction of Mycosphaerella fijiensis are mostly field based and subject to variability caused by weather conditions. The objective of this study was to develop an efficient screening procedure for black sigatoka disease in order to provide a reliable controlled environment screening method.
