Default Re: A'eae pseudostem splitting

Well it is safe to say it does not have Panama disease. 2 of the plants affected by splitting blew over and broke. The p-stem was nice and white when sliced with no signs of Panama disease. They are also putting out lots of pups which look healthy. Even with the splitting and rotting where the splitting took place, they were still pushing out good looking new leaves.

Pseudomonas fluorescence and the nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae are not available at the biggest ag supplier here so those probably aren't options for me.
