NOTE: For the first year donot immidietaly substitute 100% chemical fertilizer with the SIESTO GREEN products, as the soil is used to chemical fertilizer, it may affect the output. So the best way to substitute is by reducing 50% of chemical input in the first year, 25% the following 2nd year, & then another 10% by the 3rd year. After the 3rd year use synthetic fertilizer / inorganic fertilizer if their is a requirement depending on the soil health.

SYMPTOMS
SUGGESTED PRODUCT
Panama Wilt
Yellowing of the lowermost leaves starting from margin to midrib of the leaves.
Indofa + BT + Lifeline
Mycosphaerella leaf spot, Yellow Sigatoka, Black Sigatoka
Early symptoms appear on the third or fourth leaf from the top, i.e., on young leaves.
Indofa
Anthracnose
At the initial stage, small, circular, black spots develop on the affected fruits. Then these spots enlarge in size and turn to brown color.
Indofa
Moko Disease / Bacterial Wilt
Leaves become yellow and progress upwards. The petiole breaks and leaves hang.
Indofa + BT + Lifeline
Tip over or Bacterial Soft rot
This disease is more pronounced on young suckers leading to rotting and emitting of foul odor.
Indofa
Banana Bract Mosaic Virus (BBMV)
The disease is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped pinkish-to-reddish streaks on the pseudostem, midrib, and peduncle. Spread by aphids.
Indofa + Traps
Banana Streak Disease (BSV)
A prominent symptom exhibited by BSV is yellow streaking of the leaves, which becomes progressively necrotic producing a black-streaked appearance in older leaves.
Indofa + Bacillus
Yellowing of the lowermost leaves starting from margin to midrib of the leaves.
Indofa + BT + Lifeline
