i have several blue agaves in different locations in my yard as well as in large pots. Some are huge. i am starting to have agave "deaths", and when i pull up the plant, the root is infested with worms - sometimes white, sometimes dark, short.
What is the cure, how are they spreading? i even have one in a pot that is affected, how are they getting into pots? Once the worms are there, it means certain death for that plant.
