Waht do you use to mulch your banana mats with?
For years my family and I mulched our bananas with grass clippings. I know this is not ideal because the grass decaying may rob nitrogen. The bananas always responded well and did not have nematodes. I currently use old potting mix from dud nursery plants. I know there may be alot of pathogens in this old soil but the bananas love it and have not had any disease problems. It keeps moisture in, helps with the EC for holding nutrients and usually has left over fert in it.
