- Top of the Chilterns
Just been out and pulled some Barbados and saw this in every stem. The plant looks fine visually, is growing well, and there whilst there are some csfb larvae in the lower peteoles, they aren't in the stems. The stems are unblemished and healthy above the root, but as soon as you split the top of the root you see this. There is no obvious insect entry.
The crop was scratched into stubble with a horsch sprinter and established well, though some roots have had to work fairly hard.
I have some extrovert in the neighbouring fields that went in with the Mzuri which show little or none of the problem, so is it an issue of variety, or establshment, both, or something else. The soil is clay with flints.
Any ideas on what it might be and whether I should be worried would be greatly appreciated - it started out as quite a nice walk!
Many thanks.
