Evaluation of the effectiveness of the main fungicides used against Mycosphaerella fijiensis of banana plantations in Côte d’Ivoire

Black Sigatoka, caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet (Pseudocercospora [Morelet] Deighton), is one of the most devastating diseases banana. In commercial banana cropping systems, Sigatoka mainly managed fungicides. The emergence resistant strains M. to commonly used fungicides has necessitated an evaluation their efficacy on untreated (wild) populations. Our study effectiveness main fungicide molecules in Côte d’Ivoire control black leaf streak disease (BLSD) was conducted develop new sustainable strategies. test different made it possible classify according capacity reduce and delay appearance first symptoms disease. trifloxystrobin (strobilurin) effective controlling stripe disease, followed propiconazole, mancozeb methyl thiophanate. However, best result obtained with about
