Abstract
Plantlets orginating from adventitious buds of explants obtained from the decapitated shoot apex of a banana sucker established well under field conditions and gave rise to mature plants with uniform growth and normal yield of fruit. A total of one million pathogen-free plantlets for commercial planting was produced in 1983. Introduction of plantlets for commercial planting prevents the spreading of fusarial wilt of banana by planting materials to the disease-free orchards.Keywords
