The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of a biopesticide base on Tithonia diversifolia on the BSD development in a plantain field under high disease pressure. Recently, the protective effect of Tithonia diversifolia liquid extract against BSD development on plantain vivoplants in the nursery was highlighted.
Tithonia diversifolia is known as rich in many compounds such as mineral elements, defense metabolites, some phytochemicals and it is increasingly used in agriculture. Moreover, this chemical control is ineffective, negatively impacting the environment and human health, and is at the origin of strain resistance. The control of BSD relies on the use of chemicals which are not affordable for the small holder farmers and increase the cost of production.
