  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.

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.
