disease in Colocasia esculenta
Yams Guatemala
I found some plants with the same disease.
The soil is dry near by a little body of water.
Around those plants there are a few lemon and orange trees.
Can anybody Id this disease please?

Hi Erick, is there any above ground symptoms? Also, it looks like tubers are tunneled by insects. Did you see any larvae or adult insect?

There's no symptoms above the ground.
The plant looks like a vigorous one but when you root out it can see the damage.
I found several white/gray larvae inside the tuber. 4 months ago.

Thanks for your reply Erick. It would be helpful if you upload larvae image. I am not sure this pest is present in your area, but it is quite common on taro- Taro beetles (Papuana spp.) For more information
