Mycosphaerella foliar diseases of bananas: towards an integrated protection [PDF]

, 2010
Mycosphaerella foliar diseases, Black Leaf Streak and Sigatoka diseases caused respectively by Mycosphaerella fijiensis and M. musicola, are by far the main parasitic constraints for export bananas.

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-

BananaSqueezeNet: A very fast, lightweight convolutional neural network for the diagnosis of three prominent banana leaf diseases

Smart Agricultural Technology, 2023
All over the world, bananas are one of the most common fruits. It accounts for nearly 16% of global fruit production. However, every year, a large amount of banana yield losses occur due to different diseases of the banana leaf.

Field selection of elite events of East African highland bananas expressing elevated levels of pro‐vitamin A

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 3713-3726, September 2025.
Summary Biofortification of staple crops is a sustainable strategy to deliver essential micronutrients to impoverished populations in developing countries. Banana is a highly valued crop consumed by over 75% of Ugandans. However, the starchy green cooking bananas have very low levels of pro‐vitamin A (PVA) and heavy dietary reliance on them has been ...

Optimizing Pathogen Control through Mixed Cocoa–Plantain Agroecosystems in the Ecuadorian Coastal Region

Agronomy
Mixed production systems play a vital role in the economic sustainability and ecological balance of agroecosystems. Cocoa and plantain are key crops in Ecuador but face phytosanitary challenges, like witches’ broom and black sigatoka diseases, especially

Environmental Requirements for Germination and Appressorium Formation of Ascospores and Conidia of Phyllosticta citricarpa, the Causal Agent of Citrus Black Spot

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 7, Page 2108-2120, September 2025.
Cardinal temperatures for both Phyllosticta citricarpa spore germination were estimated as ~10ºC (minimum) and ~40ºC (maximum), and the optimum temperatures were ~30ºC for ascospores and ~24ºC for conidia. ABSTRACT Phyllosticta citricarpa produces ascospores and conidia that infect citrus tissues and cause citrus black spot (CBS).

Deviation From the Regression of Yield on Nitrogen Fertiliser Rate as a Tool for Detecting Fraud in Organic Banana Production

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 188, Issue 4, Page 604-615, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and aims Bananas are demanding in nitrogen (N) input; therefore, there is a temptation for organic farmers for using synthetic N fertilisers, which are not allowed under organic standards. The aim of our study was to develop a tool that identifies high banana yields obtained with suspiciously low organic N input.
