Abstract

The control of black leaf streak disease (BLSD), caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet, through the abusive use of synthetic fungicides, most often poses environmental pollution problems and harms consumers’ health. In order to overcome this situation, this study was initiated with a view to comparing the impact of eight (8) essential-oil based biopesticides and two synthetic fungicides of the Triazole family, on BLSD progression on-farm with the aim of using them in an integrated and sustainable management. To this end, a trial was conducted in Azaguié, in southeastern Côte d'Ivoire, under natural infestation conditions. The trial was set up in May 2014 and repeated in June 2015. The data collected during these two years of study were combined. An assessment of the effectiveness of biopesticides on phytopathological parameters during the vegetative stage of banana trees, namely the youngest leaf affected (YLA), the youngest necrotic leaf (YNL), the number of living leaves (NLL) and the severity index (SI) then at flowering and at harvest (NFLF, NFLH) was carried out. In addition to these aforementioned parameters, disease progression status (DPS) was assessed. The agronomic parameters assessed during the vegetative stage were the number of emerged leaves (NEL), pseudostem height (pH) and pseudostem girth at 10 cm above ground (C10) and at harvest, bunch weight (BW), the number of hands in the bunch (NHB) and the number of fingers in the bunch (NFB). The assessment of banana tree response to the application of biopesticides on-farm as part of black leaf streak disease control showed significant differences. These differences were observed between the parameters characterizing the foliar symptoms of the disease (YLA, YNL and SI) in the control and treated plots. The results of this study are a contribution to reducing the massive use of synthetic fungicides, particularly in industrial dessert banana plantations.

An assessment of the effectiveness of biopesticides on phytopathological parameters during the vegetative stage of banana trees, namely the youngest leaf affected (YLA), the youngest necrotic leaf (YNL), the number of living leaves (NLL) and the severity index (SI) then at flowering and at harvest (NFLF, NFLH) was carried out. In addition to these aforementioned parameters, disease progression status (DPS) was assessed. The agronomic parameters assessed during the vegetative stage were the number of emerged leaves (NEL), pseudostem height (pH) and pseudostem girth at 10 cm above ground (C10) and at harvest, bunch weight (BW), the number of hands in the bunch (NHB) and the number of fingers in the bunch (NFB). The assessment of banana tree response to the application of biopesticides on-farm as part of black leaf streak disease control showed significant differences. These differences were observed between the parameters characterizing the foliar symptoms of the disease (YLA, YNL and SI) in the control and treated plots. The results of this study are a contribution to reducing the massive use of synthetic fungicides, particularly in industrial dessert banana plantations.
