banana

[madiha]

any one know the name of this disease of banana???

[M Farooq]

It is most likely a fungus rot. Do you see very fine threads or fine black powder in the center?


There are hundreds of banana diseases, which are listed here. See the fungus Nigrospora

Apparently Sagitoka is a leaf disease rather than the fruit. Nigrospora causes black fruit from inside.
