This video describes how to multiply one parent sucker to produce 500 suckers using a simple method. The video involves classroom explanation and field practical.
Yes! Thought I was the only one that noticed this. Can you please do a video about disease management? I also wanted to ask if this method works for plantains as well.
In the US a plant nursery would sell each sucker for $59 US. So in 8 months it might be possible to make $30,000 off one plant. I think I might have found a new business.
looks fine. i did this 2 months independently on my musa basjoos ..i will go on with raja puri, topocho (Orinoco), Blue Java....i already tried the PIF with cutting away the roots. but with leaving the roots is more save and even faster..especially the primary regrowth ... i wish you a nice day. 🤗🍌🌴
Bro do you know that .the stems you throw away are made into sanitry pads and tea bags. In Europe ? We need more research into banana and plantain and other crops. A scientist has developed a means to make yarns from pineapple plant to weave material for the trainers we wear. Well done bro. Plantain is profitable like palm tree & its fruits. So we need more research.
Thanks for sharing this incredible information. Many people charge good amount of money for sharing such information. I highly appreciate your help. Please don't throw the banana stems away. They can be use as pig feed. The goats also love the leaves. The round central part of the stem is good food for humans as well. Thanks for everything.
If someone wants to start a plantain plantation Which month is good to plant plantain in one's plantain plantation so that it will be having good seeds and good results
The calendar time could have been explained better. Otherwise, great video! · Step-by-step guide on incision, division, sprouting, and multiplication of suckers with practical, video demonstration in the field for better understanding. · Cut banana near ground level. · Identify location of apical bud. · Use 4 vertical, radial incisions centered on apical bud to: - Ablate apical bud. - Create 8 independent zones in the shoot where apical dominance will generate at least 1 dominant bud (which will grow to produce a sucker). · Cover with sawdust. · Expect ~ 8 suckers in 21-30 days. · Replant suckers. · Repeat process. · After 3 eightfold expansions, you should have ~512 suckers.
Thank you for this great video! Can I do this from a mother tree that has already fruited or should I cut down a heathy plant before it’s fruited? Cheers from the Philippines
But which method is good compaired to the earlier video were you uprooted the whole thing, sliced it and then replanted? Does it mean the old method was fake. I ask this because some of us have already started the process
My method of sucker multiplication is in two steps.The first is pre- nursery , which involves the peeling of the entire pseudostem & making of incisions. After germination, the seedlings are then separated and planted at the post - nursery for further multiplication for more numbers. My method does not involve the use of grow/poly-bags
you inspire .... please any method that can be used to make plantain start flowering and fruit at the same time as that of pineapple induction techniques??? Thanks in anticipation
You welcome! Pls, to answer your question, it is unusual to see weeds growing in a sawdust wirhin 21days!... and the weeds that may come are also minor
Sawdust used because, its a soiless media which does not contain any soil borne diseases and pests and also produces more heat to enhance faster germination
