Rust Thrips
Absolutely agree!
We are implementing pest control to counter this problem. It is a shame as until now our bananas were 100% organic. There is currently no functionning organic solution for this infestation so we will have to spray with appropriate pesticides.
At least both spots and fruit splitting seem to originate from the same vector.
My sincere thanks to everyone who helped in identifying the problem. This forum is just amazing!
