Remove
any old, dry leaves that hang down on the pseudostem (they can hide insects and
larvae).
Do not cut the green leaves as they are essential for ripening the
bunches. Approximately 2 to 3 months after harvesting the
bunches, remove all remaining shoots apart from two bayonet-shaped
shoots,
one large and one small. Avoid weeds, dead leaves, pieces of pseudostem
and other plant debris piling up at the base of the plantain plants,
where they could provide shelter for the plantain root weevil or other
insects and larvae.
By doing so you are improving the yield of your plantain.
