Default Desuckering and Suckericides
Removing or killing suckers increases the maturation rate of the mother plant and improves fruit yield. See http://www.ijset.net/journal/253.pdf .

Usually the suckers are mechanically removed. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqdOSUYxNNQ


But, there are suckericides exported from India. See Banana Suckericide, Tobacco Suckericides, Sucker Control Desuckering.

Does anyone know where I can buy a small amount of suckericide, e.g., 4 oz.? aruzinsky is offline   Reply With Quote Send A Private Message To aruzinsky
