Damage, decline, and disease are what happens when pests attack banana plants.
Specifically, the flowering herbaceous plant in question (Musa spp) can be attacked above- or below-ground. Insects, mites and worms count among the banana plant's most voracious pests. For example, aphids and weevils communicate bacterial/fungal infections and viral diseases by breaking into the plant's structures (leaves in terms of sap-sucking aphids, roots and stems with regard to burrowing, egg-laying weevils). Spider and two-spotted mites leave insufficiently hydrated banana plants with damaged, purple- or red-tipped fruits. Nematodes obstruct the up-and-down flow of watered nutrients and sugars by burrowing below-ground.
Correct soil pH, proper irrigation, and sanitation help to eliminate or minimize the impact of the above-mentioned pests (and others like them).

∙ 6y agoDamage, decline and disease describe what happens when pests attack banana plants that lack monitored soil pH, proper irrigation and regular sanitation. Sap-sucking aphids and burrowing, egg-laying weevils encourage bacterial and fungal infections and viral diseases by respectively breaking into the flowering plant (Musa spp) in question's leaves or roots and stems. Spider and two-spotted mites leave insufficiently hydrated banana plants with damaged, purple- or red-tipped fruits while nematodes obstruct the up-and-down flow of watered nutrients and sugars by burrowing below-ground.
