This is inclusive of labour (team of three at $50/hr per person), bulldozing equipment ($100/hr at 20 hr/ha), truck hire ($75/hr), incendiaries ($60/ha for green waste) and creation of a circular chemical buffer zone approximately 5 ha in diameter around previously infected sites. Chemical used is assumed to be dithane (applied at a rate of 3 kg/ha or $25/ha) and oil (applied at 3L/ha or $10/ha) at fortnightly intervals rotated with propiconazole (applied at a rate of 0.3L/ha or $5/ha). Assume 2 additional dithane treatments are required and 4 propiconazole treatments (and therefore 6 additional oil treatments), each taking 1 hr/ha to apply; <i>^f</i> Assumes: (i) labour costs of $50/ha (i.e. 1 application × 1hr/ha × $50/hr); (ii) 75 mL of chemical solution is used per banana plant per treatment costing $10/L (e.g. dimethoate diluted to 75 mL/100L) (i.e. approximately $15/ha); and (iii) two additional chemical treatments will provide sufficient suppression of banana aphid <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0042391#pone.0042391-Cook4" target="_blank">[30]</a>.
