Zusammenfassung:Defoliation caused by Black Sigatoka in yield and quality of banana 'Nanica' was stimulated in this study. A completely randomized 2x8 factorial design with six repetitions was used, in which period of bunch formation and number of leaves at flowering were established as factors. Plants for defoliation were selected on 04/05/2013 (Period 1), and on 07/01/2014 (Period 2). Six to to 13 leaves remained per plant by removing those with more than 50% of blade with injury or senescence. More appropriate climatic conditions before and after flowering, promoted greater mass accumulation in the bunch in Period 2. The increased number of leaves at flowering increased the length of the fruit and the mass of 4th hand, as well as the bunch mass and postharvest period. Defoliation is suggested only for non-functional leaves as well as the maintenance of at least 10 leaves per plant, independent of the period of bunch formation. Key words: Musa spp., bunch mass, fruit size, source/sink ratio. Simulou-se o efeito da desfolha causada pela Sigatoka Negra na producao e qualidade dos frutos da bananeira 'Nanica'. Adotouse o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 2x8, com seis repeticoes, no qual o periodo de formacao do cacho e o numero de folhas na floracao foram estabelecidos como fatores. No Periodo 1, a selecao de plantas para desfolha foi realizada em 04/05/2013 e, no Periodo 2, em 07/01/2014. Mantiveram-se 6 a 13 folhas por planta, removendo as folhas com mais 50% do limbo com injuria ou senescencia. Condicoes climaticas mais apropriadas antes e depois da floracao promoveram maior acumulacao de massa no cacho, no Periodo 2. O aumento do numero de folhas na floracao aumentou o comprimento do fruto e a massa da 4a penca, bem como a massa do cacho e periodo pos-colheita. Sugere-se a desfolha apenas para folhas nao-funcionais e a manutencao de pelo menos 10 folhas por planta, independente do periodo de formacao do cacho. Palavras-chave: Musa sp., massa do cacho, tamanho do fruto, relacao fonte/dreno.
