GROWING BANANAS LEGALLY IN AUSTRALIA?
Australian Banana Growers
....... The use of bits and suckers, especially from other farms, brings significant risk of transferring pests including weevil borer and nematodes, and serious diseases like Panama disease (including TR4) and Bunchy Top. ...........
For pests, for growers who choose to use bits and suckers, the only treatments that are legal (on-label) are dipping in Nemacur (for Nematodes) or heat treatment. No other dips are permitted (including Imidacloprid and Bifenthrin). Imidacloprid in particular presents a significant water quality risk............
For serious diseases such as TR4 and bunchy top, there is no cure. Once introduced onto a farm, infected plants must be destroyed and infection contained............
For the ABGC Code of Practice around minimising the risk of serious diseases when using planting material, go to https://bit.ly/3opZMnS
If you’d like more information, contact ABGC’s Best Practice Team via bmp@abgc.org.au

QUESTIONS ARISING:
1/ . Is the CAVABDISHbanana turning out to be the vector via which the BANANAindustry is monopolising the growing of 'bananas' , and legally, via the BUREAUCRATIC imperatives brought on by the 'disease threat' ?
2/ . Is the industrial cum monocultural agricultural cultivation of the CAVABDISHbanana actually turning out to be unsustainable?
3/ . Is the almost monocultural of the CAVABDISHbanana turning out to be a risky business in the 21st C?

"We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture. ...... The act of eating is very political. You buy from the right people, you support the right network of farmers and suppliers who care about the land and what they put in the food." - Alice Waters ... WHO IS?
