What to do if a Banana has Black Sigatoka:

Removal of Infected Leaves: Regularly remove and destroy infected leaves from the field to reduce the fungal population and prevent further spread. Canopy Management: Maintain good airflow and light penetration within the banana plantation by proper pruning and spacing. This helps reduce humidity and create an environment less favorable for disease development. Adequate Nutrition: Ensure that banana plants receive appropriate fertilization to maintain overall health and vigor, as healthy plants are more resistant to diseases. Weed Control: Control weeds in and around the plantation, as they can serve as hosts for the Black Sigatoka fungus.
