Default Re: New threat to banana plants.

What I'd do would depend on who suggested compensation, whether you generally get along and whether this appears to a a one time episode. Have you ever tasted the bananas (assuming they're edible) or is the 1st year growing them? Do you have others? Assuming it won't happen again I'd probably figure how many pounds of fruit I potentially lost and multiply that by market price for better than Chiquitas. Make both figures on the high side especially the price since you were raising these thus knew all chemical they'd encountered. And if you are friends make sure to give them bananas when you do get fruit.
