Sustainable treatment of banana leaves for phytosanitary applications: impact, spreading, and impregnation of mineral oil

This study provides the first direct evidence that mineral oils not only protect leaf surfaces, but also diffuse into internal tissues targeted by fungal pathogens. These findings offer a mechanistic basis for field practices and support the development of more effective and sustainable foliar spray formulations. © 2026 The Author(s).

Abstract

This study provides the first direct evidence that mineral oils not only protect leaf surfaces, but also diffuse into internal tissues targeted by fungal pathogens. These findings offer a mechanistic basis for field practices and support the development of more effective and sustainable foliar spray formulations. © 2026 The Author(s).
