dc.description.abstract	Yellow sigatoka or leaf spot is a fungal disease that attacks bananas in all banana growing regions. The diseases reduces the plant photosynthetic potential and subsequent bunch size. It can also shorten the green life of fruit, resulting in reduced fruit quality. It is more prevalent at the end of the wet season, particularly in plantations that have not been sprayed with fungicides.
