Banana hands (12 fruits per hand) were surface sterilized by dipping in 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for 3 min, rinsed three times with sterile distilled water and air-dried at room temperature on an alcohol-disinfested shelf. Hands were then dipped into a plastic jar (10 L size) containing 3 L of C. musae spore suspension for 5 min and covered by plastic sheet. Banana hands were incubated at room temperature for 24 h to induce appresorial development (Change et al., 2000). After incubation, the plastic sheets were removed and banana hands were immersed for 5 min in 10% and 20% (w/v) aqueous plant extracts maintained in a water bath (Model WNB 10) at room temperature (ca. 20 C), 45 C and 50 C. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design(CRD) with a factorial combination of treatments (plant extracts and dipping temperatures) in three replications (banana hands).The experiment was conducted at room temperature in the laboratory.
