Pest affecting banana trees and what damage it can cause
Red spider
The red spider mite is one of the pests affecting banana trees. Look carefully if you find this mite with a globular shape in the area of the central nerve and the underside of the leaf feeding on its cells. The leaves will turn white until they turn yellow and dry up. When the damage is very severe, the plant will die.
