Management
- The diseased plants should be
removed as and when noticed to avoid the spread of the disease
- Disease free planting materials
should be used for new planting
- The banana gardens should be
kept free from weeds
- Weeds in the nearby areas
should be removed as the virus survives in them in off-season
- Early detection by regular
inspection of planting and eradication of diseased plants from the field
as soon as they are noticed
- Control of insect vector by
spraying Phosphomidon at 1 ml per litre or Methyl Demeton at 2 ml per
litre or Monocrotophos at 1ml per litre.
