Re: white mold growing on banana tree and small flies on it and in soil
Hi Lydiebell
There is a fairly new product on the market, which I have tried after a fungus not only deposited
itself on the leaves of my grapes, but destroyed the fruit completely. The berries shrunk and
turned greyish black. Not a single edible berry remained on three large vines.
Sometime during the summer I heard about Serenade a biofungicide. It comes from Germany,
where the laws against chemicals in food are the strictest on the planet. It can be used right up
to the day of harvest.
I bough a liter of the concentrate for just under $30.-, which will last me a decade, and sprayed
3 times at weekly intervals, beginning when the leaf buds just started to break open. My vines
have never looked as healthy as they do now.
See:
If the white stuff is any kind of fungus, I'd highly recommend the product.
Good luck,
Olaf
