I'm not sure that going organic would necessarily fix the problem. I've looked into the problem at length and it seems to be an issue all over the subtropics. I see it on my bananas and they are growing in soil that is 30% organic matter. My personal feeling is that the problem will eventually work itself out, but if you are looking to be proactive, foliar feeding is an option. You do have to be careful with boron though.
