Resistance to Triazoles in Populations of <i>Mycosphaerella fijiensis</i> and <i>M. musicola</i> from the Sigatoka Disease Complex from Commercial Banana Plantations in Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, Brazil.

ABSTRACT: The sterol demethylation inhibitors (DMIs) are among the most widely used fungicides for controlling black Sigatoka (Mycosphaerella fijiensis) and yellow Sigatoka (Mycosphaerella musicola) in banana plantations in Brazil. Black Sigatoka is considered more important due to causing yield losses of up to 100% in commercial banana crops under predisposing conditions. In contrast, yellow Sigatoka is important due to its widespread occurrence in the country. This study aimed to determine the current sensitivity levels of Mf and Mm populations to DMI fungicides belonging to the chemical group of triazoles. Populations of both species were sampled from commercial banana plantations in Registro, Vale do Ribeira, São Paulo (SP), Ilha Solteira, Northwestern SP, and Janaúba
