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.
