Extract

In the banana-producing area of north-eastern Colombia and in certain parts of Central America, the skins of the banana fruits are sometimes attacked by insects, which gnaw the epidermal tissues and cause unsightly, blackened scars. In some districts so much fruit is thus affected that the matter has become of considerable economic importance; measures intended to reduce the injury have been initiated and studies of the causal organisms commenced.
