Tissue Culture

Propagation

Now-a-days banana plants are also propagated through tissue culture.
Varieties like Shrimanti, Gross Michael and Grand Naine are commonly produced using tissue culture technique.
Normally disease free plantlets with 3 - 4 leaves are generally supplied in pots for raising secondary nursery.
Plants are initially kept in shade [50%] and as they harden, shade is reduced gradually.
After 6 weeks, plants do not require any shade. Normally two months of secondary nursery is good enough before the plants to be planted in the field pits
