Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5555-5566, June 2026.Mineral oil droplets spread anisotropically, penetrate banana leaf tissues, and diffuse into the palisade parenchyma, revealing a delayed, Fickian mechanism that supports improved phytosanitary spray strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND Efficient application of phytosanitary sprays is essential for sustainable control of foliar fungal diseases such as Black

The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica
Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 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 ...

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.

Evaluating the Efficacy of Convolutional Neural Networks: Disease Detection in Crops
Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Crop diseases pose a significant risk to agricultural productivity, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa, where cassava (Manihot esculenta), plantain (Musa paradisiaca), and cocoa (Theobroma cacao) serve as essential crops. There is an urgent need for innovative plant disease detection methods to enhance control measures and preventive strategies to ...
