Re: First flower! Dwarf Orinoco

Re: Yellow Sigatoka treatment
As unfortunate as the situation is, deleafing may be required if the disease has gone past a certain stage. Fungicide might work if you caught it early, but isn't guaranteed to fix it. Here's a guide...

Re: First flower! Dwarf Orinoco

I'm just a farmer and it's real nice to read posts from members with a formal plant education. My main research is focused on growing bananas quickly and maximizing yield.

Re: Container TC Pups, slow growth/ Care Tips
