Default Re: How to prevent disease introduction when moving banana pups between countries?

Quite a while back there was a video about trimming and scrubbing a corm, bleaching it, etc. No idea where it is now. That addresses soil borne pests and diseases. however there are other issues such at BTV, Sigatoka, etc which are transmitted, if I understand correctly, in the tissue of the plant and cannot be eliminated.
