Question
Hi,

My dad has an aloe vera farm in Mozambique it has been going for about 3 years now. He has noticed that they have a disease on the aloe plants and he thonks it is called eurytoma. I would like to know if you have an idea on what causes it and how you con fix it organically.

Regards Tarryn

Answer
Tarryn,

Actually, eurytoma is a parasitic wasp that kills other bugs, not plants. See the link below:

If you or he can send me a picture of the problem to [email protected] I may be able to be of more help. Thanks.

Sincerely,
