Tissue Culture Banana Cultivation
Tissue Culture Banana Cultivation - In Tissue culture banana cultivation the banana suckers should be kept under shade and water sprayed over them 4-5 times everyday. This should be done for 3-4 days.
Planting
Pits of 3x3x3 feet should be dug and the surface soil should be placed in the bottom of the pit along with composed farmyard manure.
Furadon granules at 10-15g per pit may be mixed with the soil and farm yard manure. Light irrigation should be given for 3-4 days.
If the planting is done during the monsoon Carbendazim fungicide at 5 gram per litre of water may be applied to avoid seedlings rotting disease.
Phosphate and potassium fertilizers should be applied within five months after planting the suckers.
While planting the suckers, the pits should be manured by 1/5th of recommended phosphatic fertilizer along with 1/5th of ammonium sulphate as nitrogen fertilizer.
Equal quantity of ammonium sulphate should be applied further on the fifteenth day. The remaining nitrogen and phosphatic fertilizers and the full dose of recommended potash should be applied in four equal splits at monthly interval.
Micro-nutrient fertilizers should be applied in two equal splits during third and fifth month of planting.
Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu) micro-nutrients should be applied without fail, particularly in sandy soil field and the fields where previously banana was cultivated.
Ferrous sulphate should be given as foliar spray for the fields having `calcareous' soils, four times during third and fifth month at an interval of 10-15 days.

Increasing weightProper plant growth promoting enzymes should be sprayed. After opening of last hands of the bunch NKP foliar grade fertilizer at 2g/litre of water should be sprayed four times at 15 days interval over the bunch for increasing the weight. S.
