copper sulfate/water => 4 teaspoons copper sulfate to 1 gallon of water.
You can also make a 1% Burgundy Mixture as follows:
For 1 gal mix:
38 g copper sulfate => 1.34 oz => 2 tbl
47 g washing soda => 1.66 oz => 3 tbl
1 gal water
Note: De-solve the copper sulfate in 1 pint of water and the washing soda in 1 pint of water. Strain each into 1 one gal container. Then finish filling (3 qt) water.
or a Bordeaux Mixture. see link for directions. Bordeaux Mixture--UC IPM
This wont cure the fungus but will stop it from spreading. These have greatly reduced leaf spot and bloom-end rot in my garden. And is used by large banana plantations in their fields. A 3lb bag of copper sulfate is about $5 to $8; and a box of Mule Team washing soda is about $3.50. This is much less expensive than buying off-the -self fungicides.

This solution was the perfect fix for my problem. The fungus has stopped growing and my bananas seem to recovering.
