Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

HELLO!!!

My instructor sugests that my study would be better if I am going to make a funguscide out of Duranta erecta fruit extract. Can you gave me a site that talks about Black Sigatoka fungus and how to destroy it? It is a fungus that act on bananas. I tried to search about Black Sigatoka but all I have read was just how it destroys the banana. I am really curious on how to destroy these Black Sigatoka. I hope you can help me... plzZZ...
