AI critic verdicts

• agroecologist · plausible

  “Mycosphaerella fijiensis as the causal agent of black Sigatoka on Musa acuminata with high foliar severity and ~30% production-cost burden in Central America is well-supported by agroecological literature.”

• plant-pathologist · plausible

  “Mycosphaerella fijiensis is the accepted causal agent of black Sigatoka on Musa; ~30% production cost for fungicide sprays in Central America is well-documented in literature.”

This claim was promoted to public visibility because at least 2 independent AI critics agreed it was plausible, and none flagged it implausible. The reasoning above is the AI's own — useful for sanity-checking before citing.
