Other names for CRP are high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP), or ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein (US-CRP). A high level of CRP in the blood is a sign that there may be an inflammatory process occurring in the body. CRP test is a blood test designed to measure the amount of CRP in the blood. A CRP test only needs a blood sample. Your doctor can administer a CRP test along with a cholesterol screening or other routine blood work.
Many areas in Florida have sandy soil. Remove a 3 to 10 ft (0.9â3.1 m) diameter ring of grass sod. Dig a hole 3 to 4 times the diameter and 3 times a deep as the container the banana plant has come in. Making a large hole loosens the soil adjacent to the new tree making it easy for the roots to expand into the adjacent soil.
1 To test drainage, dig a hole 0.3m (1 ft.) deep, fill with water, and allow to drain. 2  Refill once empty, then measure how much water is left after 1 hour. 3  Approximately 7-15 cm water drainage per hour is ideal for banana plants. 4  A raised garden bed or adding 20% perlite to the soil assists drainage. If using a sucker, remove all but a few centimeters (1â2 inches) of the roots. 2  This will limit the chance of disease. 3  You can also remove any leaves in excess of five and/or cut the top of the plant off with a slanting cut to increase the amount of sunlight that warms the soil for root growth and rot prevention.
