Macropropagation in Banana (How to obtain multiple plants from just one)

[@manamperigunarathna8634]

Excellent research we try to practise in Siri lanka.Rtd Sc teacher.Thank you so much.

[@jesussarmiento1488]

Nice info and i like it, thank you sir from the Philippines.

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Thanks my friend

[@KabayangManny]

Great sharing

[@edisontabi6719]

What did you mixed with the sand? Your reply is much appreciated..thank you

Thanks for the info! Question: Where exactly do you cut the newly grown plants from the corm?

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Thanks, sometimes it is easy, and they separate by hand, but sometimes they are really attached to the corm so you cut when you see roots in the new plant and taking part of the old corm.

[@0anant0]

@@ferchuckygarcia Thanks!

[@afmedwards]

Great video - one of the clearest I've found for this kind of propagation, thank you. Are you growing all your bananas in greenhouses? Would be interesting to see more :)

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Hello, Alex yes greenhouse but i have a several also at home. Thanks a lot for your comment

[@ferchuckygarcia]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4PWgZd8rqmnfKc here you can see some in our greenhouse

[@afmedwards]

@@ferchuckygarcia brilliant! Thank you for remembering me :) Reading your ‘about’ section I gather you’re growing these bananas to research TR4 rather than fruit etc? Best of luck with your research!

[@miguelangelsimonfernandez5498]

What do you think of carefully peeling the leafs above the waist and exposing subsequent layers of buds, where two leafs meet at the bottom, in a larger number than 8?

[@paulbraga4460]

this is the process i want to see on video - far more careful cutting away of the layers. i believe it achieve more suckers growing...blessings

[@josephmalayang9142]

Very nice tutorial friend

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Thanks a lot happy that you liked it.

[@kessimputme5822]

Can this method work with any specie of banana and plantain?

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Yes :)

[@wijayanandaihalagamage4600]

excelent methed l will try.thanking you.

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Let me know if it works

[@miguelsantanaguerrero5722]

Un buen video gracias

[@TravelShades]

Very good information

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Thanks

[@czarnyheniek]

Great methods, i will try for sure 🤩

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Let me know if it works

[@joleneguerrero4794]

Where do I find the pieces u called suckers? I have dwarf Cavendish banana growing. They were the same size when I got them months ago. But 1 kinda died then came back to life and is now way smaller than the other lol. I want more banana trees to grow around my yard

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Suckers are the lateral shoots, the little plants that grow around the mother plant :)

[@rosiemaeucab5721]

Can i ask some reaction paper about these?

[@rosiemaeucab5721]

Thankyou for the nice video😍❤️❤️❤️

[@stephenappiah-ofori9255]

Nice

[@rafaelperez5762]

The new approach on this macropropagation is to cut through and through from what you did, then the pieces are to be soaked in vat of insecticides/fungicides mixture together with rooting hormones , to leave in it by 10-15mins. Then the new seedlings of suckers are covered in a plot by rice hull, compost, and other mediums of soil like coconut peats and macro charcoals. Wait for 2-4 weeks and a new suckers will be sprouting, ready for individual plastic bags for easy handling. When the season and plots are ready, these new suckers will be easily transplanted for a new crop.

[@richardgaia5970]

Are these kept inside a greenhouse after cutting back to the corm?

[@ferchuckygarcia]

In this particular case, yes. But is not necessary, nevertheless, it is important to keep warm and moist

[@ant6516]

Hello, what is the best "mother" plant for this propagation method? Can i use harvested plant which i usually cut? Or it must be young plant (3 ~ 5 month)? Thanks for your answer

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Better an adult plant of at least 6 months and before flowering

[@samarsingh5146]

Can i use this part for transgenic

[@ferchuckygarcia]

i dont think so, for that you need tissue cultured platns.

[@farmingandconstructionwith2303]

Am i only supposed to use sad or i csn use also soil

[@ferchuckygarcia]

no, you can also use other substrates.

[@arzologarnica3124]

Nice bro.

[@brianm.2897]

Any reason you don’t split the corm up into individual pots? I see you did multiple cuts in it.

[@ferchuckygarcia]

The more you cut, the more points are activated to regenerate suckers

[@Mr_Ravee]

@@ferchuckygarcia He means to ask, split up corm into many pieces vs multiple cuts on corm, which is better?

[@ferchuckygarcia]

@@Mr_Ravee i haven't tried the split of the corm in multiple pot but i think it is too risky to cut the corm completely

[@viniciusmarad]

Muito bom !!! ( Very Good )

[@ferchuckygarcia]

obrigado

[@artemistv3221]

How big should be the banana plant? I have a nusa acuminata 20 cm high. Can i do this with this plant? No problem, i have 20 other Bananas, but that is the biggest.

[@ferchuckygarcia]

You can uproot your plant and have a look at the corm. If it is as big as your fist them try. If it's small wait a bit more

[@leorascrivens-he2nz]

How do you cut the banana's off the plant

[@ferchuckygarcia]

In most cases, you can separate the little plants just by hand, cracking the plant from the corm. However, in many cases the plant is really attached to the mother plant, in that case you can use a knife I will make that video soon ok?

New comer from bandiung indonesia thank update your sae euy

[@nightmare-illestundergroun]

hi,why sand?is it better than soil?thanx

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Yes, less “dirty”. Prevents rotting due to the number of microorganisms present in the soil. Sand is easy to clean.

[@nightmare-illestundergroun]

@@ferchuckygarcia thanx,but does it feed the plant?does it have nutritions that the plant need?again thanx..:)

[@ferchuckygarcia]

@@nightmare-illestundergroun that's correct, the sand is of use, only until we get the suckers. After, they need to be individually potted in a proper substrate, or kept in the sand but adding nutrition.

[@ProfDrabusufian]

Does these plants give fruit faster

[@ferchuckygarcia]

these suckers are stronger than plants coming from in vitro, so they grow faster, but it takes the same time to produce the inflorescence and later fruits

[@ProfDrabusufian]

@@ferchuckygarcia thanks I am a physician by profession. Can I do it

[@ferchuckygarcia]

@@ProfDrabusufian Definitely, I made this video for people with no experience, it is very very easy (if you can find a banana plant of course)

[@fevycates660]

me I know the name of that powder?

[@waltherjuliaans9171]

Wats the name of that powder..??

[@ferchuckygarcia]

It's rooting powder,
