%X the black sigatoka caused by the fungus mycosphaerella fijiensis morelet, is the most destructive foliar disease in the banana (musa ¡Á paradisiaca l.) and plantain (musa acuminata colla) production around the world. chemical fungicides are the main control tactics; however, fungicide resistance had increased control costs, besides environmental contamination and consumers demands for a fruit free of pesticide residues. the enhancement of populations of native bacteria through selective substrates, with lytic activity on m. fijiensis, looks as a management alternative. application of two foliar substrates, that had a mineral solution plus urea, barley flour and colloidal chitin known to built-up biocontrol bacteria, allowed to decrease fungicide applications in from 43 to 46%, when sprayed in rotation with conventional fungicides.
