Re: Is this true?
the bunch that develops with fewer leaves (other leaves having been lost to the dreaded fungus) will have far fewer bananas than others, but would continue to require the same amount of labor
the farmers constantly cut away sections of affected leaves and move the debris away from the base for burning...quite a site to see such sharp machetes reach overhead and flick off a bit here or there
corms are cut away with the resulting survivor being optimally placed in regards to other plants and thus avoiding overcrowding
