| 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’. |
