. Pests and Diseases. Black leaf streak and banana weevils (Cosmopolites sordidus) are the major disease and pest affecting plantain production in Nigeria. The appearance of black leaf streak was noticed in the country in 1986. Most plantains are susceptible to the disease, which causes 30–50% yield reductions (IITA, 1989). Observations in plantain producing regions showed that the disease occurred more in distant fields than in home gardens. Banana weevils cause snapping of fruit bearing plants, which forces farmers to give continuous attention to this pest. Introduction of several resistant cultivars and better cultural practices seems to have reduced its occurrence.
