Also I use Organic matter from decaying leaves................Black Soil...............with lots of Earth Worms................... Decaying Leaves releasing Tanin............that contributes to lower the PH............that Bananas like.................neutralizing some Ca Carbonates........... It´s quite simple............................ Last edited by Yuri Barros : 12-01-2012 at 04:23 AM. |

Re: Article on banana fertilization and nutrient deficiencies
It really is that simple. I use mulch and Milorganite. Back when I used chemical fertilizers, I put too much and gave my plants a micronutrient deficiency.

Bunchy Top Virus
I know this thread is old but I stumbled across the bunchy top virus thingy while looking at this post about fertilizers. Note the article talks about it being mistaken for nutrient deficiency, IE what you guys are talking about. It's not, it's a virus.
Here: Bunchy top | Promusa - Mobilizing banana science for sustainable livelihoods Read how to get rid of it. pretty dismal... Good Luck

Re: Article on banana fertilization and nutrient deficiencies
So glad that it's not found in the continental U.S.

Re: Article on banana fertilization and nutrient deficiencies
I'm not an expert but I would be hesitant to fertilize bananas if nights are going into the 40s. Bananas stop growing and can't use the fertilizer.

Re: Article on banana fertilization and nutrient deficiencies
Oh I hope that's not what sddarkman619 suggests it might be...we don't need another rampant disease going haywire here in Florida!
As it is Florida's citrus is being attacked by so many issues right now, canker, greening and such. I fear we eventually won't be able to grow any fruit here!

Re: Article on banana fertilization and nutrient deficiencies
One thing that does happen here in Florida, which might look like bunchy top is choking.
