The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, 2026.
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

Forecasting Black Sigatoka Infection Risks with Latent Neural ODEs

, 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.

RECENT APPEARANCE OF BLACK SIGATOKA IN BANANA PLANTATIONS OF BRAZILIAN AMAZONIA [PDF]

Acta Horticulturae, 2000
Symptoms of the black sigatoka (Mycosphaerella fijiensis) were first observed, in December 1997, in Tabatinga and Bejanmin Constant near the border of Brazil with Colombia and Peru. Meanwhile, the disease has been disseminated in the whole state of Amazonas and had already reached the states of Acre and Rondonia, in Brazil.

Long-Distance Wind-Dispersal of Spores in a Fungal Plant Pathogen: Estimation of Anisotropic Dispersal Kernels from an Extensive Field Experiment [PDF]

, 2014
Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (i.e., the distribution of dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field experiments designed to measure disease gradients caused by sexually-
