I have not tried to germinate banana seeds, but I have germinated a very wide range of other seeds over the years. I have found that at the 1st sign of the little white mycelium cased by damp off fungi, if you will spray the surface of the soil and the bottom inch or so of the seedlings with 3 percent ydrogen peroxide, it kills the mycelium. but it doesn't harm the seedlings. I have treated thousands of seedlings in this way also just to prevent damp-off. It is very important not to keep your grow chamber too humid. If you see any or the mychorizia of scrophularium [damp off fungi] immediately, spray lightly with hydrogen peroxide mixed with a few drops of alcohol. then 'rough up' the surface of the media a little bit to help it to dry out a little at the surface. I use a toothpick for this operation. Be carefll not to till too deeply. 1 8th inch is usually quite sufficient. just kind of swirl the pick around in the surface. { any of you that grow fungi (edible mushrooms) can actually save a spawn batch by rinsing it with hydrogen peroxide 3 percent, then draining it. It will usually retard the growth of the invading bacteria or mycelium long enough for the good mycelia to outgrow the infection]Monkeypickles This remedy has not been tested by me on banana seedlings, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on them as well as on them as well as it does on seedling tomatoes, flowers, etc.
