The falling of the pseudostem may occur due to strong winds, rhizome rot, burrowing nematode or tall cultivar. There is no doubt that strong wind is one of the important limiting factors in banana production. Supporting with bamboo at bunch emergence period.
5) Wrapping :- Covering of bunches with gunny cloth or dry leaves to protect from sunburn, hot wind, dust etc which improves colour of fruit.
6) Removal of dried & decayed leaves: - Pruning of surplus leaves is a common operation in banana production. Leaf removal helps to reduce the disease spreading through old and senescent leaves. The micro climate is changed by leaf pruning, especially light and temperature.
