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.
If you opt out of having your soil tested, use a 6-2-12 fertilizer with magnesium when the plant is going into its first bearing year. Apply the fertilizer, at the rate on the label, every two months until the plant fruits. Use an 8-10-8 fertilizer to feed the mature dwarf banana tree. Apply 1 pound of the fertilizer to the soil after planting, 1 pound more two months later (spread 1 foot out from the tree), and a final pound, twice the distance, two months later. Keep the fertilizer at least 6 inches away from the dwarf bananaâs main stem.
