Black sigatoka, a fungal leaf spot disease first observed around 1963, affects all main cultivars of bananas and has shown ever-increasing resistance to treatment, with the current expense for treating 1 hectare exceeding $1,000 per year. In addition to the expense, there is the question of how long intensive spraying can be environmentally justified.

Even the bots are getting in on Project Fear these days.
