Thank you for all the input. It's true that we have had less failure with Khai and Gros Michel but now that I study the problem I am starting to believe that the suckers of Namwah supplied to us are too big and have never been stunted whereas the suckers of the other varieties had stunting scars, little leaf, were bullet shaped and that these are more successful and take immediately, especially in the rainy season. In our next field of Namwah we will select only this type of sucker and I can measure the difference. We will also follow your advice on the cow dung.We should be planting a new field next week so results will be quick to evaluate.
