Abstract

A second appearance of the aphid-borne bunchy top virus on Kauai (HI, USA) has forced commercial growers to destroy their banana crop. Unless chemicals are used, the virus will remain in the roots and it will be impossible to grow bananas in that area again. Herbicide was used to eradicate the banana plants before, but only after state officials went to court against several organic growers who refused to allow chemicals on their land.
