etrader: For Maximum out put you need TRIMMING OF LEAVES
Remove any old, dry leaves that hang down on the pseudostem (they can hide insects and larvae). Do not cut the green leaves as they are essential for growing the bunches. Approximately 2 to 3 months after harvesting the bunches, remove all remaining shoots apart from two bayonet-shaped shoots, one large and one small. Avoid weeds, dead leaves, pieces of pseudostem and other plant debris piling up at the base of the plantain plants, where they could provide shelter for the plantain root weevil or other insects and larvae.
By doing so you are improving the yield of your plantain.

Again can I plant cassava in plantain plantation farm? Thanks |
I am happy to meet issue of MUSHROOM cultivation/production. I one Kenyan agrobiz website in 2016 after I have red for free about mushroom production, became interested in it, I am now happy observation it on our soil. I will like to start it as far as it allows lower startup capital. Thanks |
