I'm curious if anyone here has a black sigatoka infection? If so, how do you manage it? Does it affect your bananas much? I suspect I have it and am really concerned about the impact to my acre of bananas :(
I seriously doubt you have it; I'm pretty certain I don't. But why do you think your acre is infected? Do you have pictures of your plants? Where are they located? Have others in the region reported problems?

Hahah. Yeah, hopefully I don't. Hopefully my bananas don't as well...
I'm in Southwest Florida. Here's some pics from advanced stage to just starting to show symptoms. The oldest 1-3 leaves tend to be affected and newer leaves appear healthy. I'd appreciate any insight.

Thanks for the pictures. I have nothing like that on my plants. I don't know what it is (rank amateur) but that doesn't look good. Hoping someone who has a clue will find this thread.
