Re: Bananas
Jonatan,
It is my understanding that this disease is airborne, ususally from discarded material left in the plantation after harvest, thining, or other plantation activities. I would guess that after harvest, collecting all of the waste and burning it or otherwise discarding it away from your plantation might help. Also, cooling the bananas under 14C might also retard the growth on the fungus.... I do not think there is a overnight cure here, but culture practices that will reduce it. There are better resources than I here; hopefully they will have better answers.
