Potential use of<i>Trichoderma</i>-based bioproduct for black leaf streak disease<i>(Mycosphaerella fijiensis)</i>management in the field

Abstract

Organic banana production demands alternatives for controlling black leaf streak disease caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. The foliar application of a Trichoderma-based bioproduct increased the plant growth and provides some degree of control by reduction of the disease severity in two growing cycles of the banana plants cv. ‘Williams’.
