Default Re: Nematode infestation

Looks like corm weevil damage. I have been cleaning one of my clients banana patches... mind you, she let them get way too big. The site doesn't let me upload photos, but one of the mats was heavily infested and rotted away. Not sure if these guys are a problem for you guys.


On the topic of sand. I wish I could get sand to experiment with. It is way too expensive to buy here. I also do not like taking sand from our beaches... so that's not an option. Also, everyone is in a completely different climate. With our 11 different microclimates here our banana junkies have developed different methods.
