Default Re: Fungus threatens banana crops

Sometimes I have to worry about it, especially if you have plenty of bananas planted close together in a small yard.

I have already one leaf disease afflict Mysore, and have to dig it out and burned it. Never planted another banana in that spot. I am not sure about the disease but it has small rusty spots all over the young leaves and the mature leaves these are yellow to orange streaks. It developed when I was wintering it in the garage, and initially thought it was due to cold, so planted it during the spring and hoping it will disappear as it got warmer but then the spots grew worse as the plant grew, so dug it out and got rid of it.
