Some of my bananas are dying and others have very skinny pstem and they fall. What it could be.

Maybe Mealybugs. Spray them off with a hose and remove all the infected parts


It's a start anyway.Although it may be best to chop down the whole mat and burn it

Check out Marasmielus inoderma rot. The white patches and rotting of the leaf sheath seems similar. Here is a link to Banana Pest and Disease Image Gallery (http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/nelsons/banana/).
