I will make a Digging Bar.............Concave.............to extract the pups with no damage.................for replanting............

But the "Lurdinha" is a different tool...............and I´m not familiar with its use.................

I found an intresting use for this Tool.............

Is here :

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura - 'Prata-anĂŁ' banana plant nutrition and production fertilized with zinc and boron via rhizoma (http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S0100-29452007000300042&script=sci_arttext)

They used it to introduce B and Zn...........when the pups are removed.......

First using a machete to cut the pup off...............and the making a hole using this Tool............
