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

#bananaman #bananaplants #bananapropagation
Let's make a break on scientific vlogs and let's learn something new. This time I'm bringing you this new (Gardening) video tutorial.
Here, I'm going to show you how to obtain many plants from just one plant. This is a very common technique used in many countries to propagate bananas. It is efficient and cheap. This doesn't mean that is the best method as it has a lot of disadvantages including the spread of pathogens, lack of uniformity, among others (see my scientific presentation about this: • Propagación banano y p... )
In the industry of banana, big farms would never use this methodology. "In vitro" plants from tissue culture is the rule as they guarantee plants free of pathogens. However, it is a very good option for gardening if you have spare banana plants and you want to get more plants you can try this method at home.

Thanks

[@czarnyheniek]

Great methods, i will try for sure 🤩

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Let me know if it works

[@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]

czcams.com/video/YRsPdFyDtFE/video.html 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!

Muito bom !!! ( Very Good )

obrigado

[@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

[@0anant0]

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!

[@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

[@rosiemaeucab5721]

Can i ask some reaction paper about these?

[@francisrichard2642]

Super

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Thanks a lot

[@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 :)

[@farmingandconstructionwith2303]

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

[@ferchuckygarcia]

no, you can also use other substrates.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@samarsingh5146]

Can i use this part for transgenic

[@ferchuckygarcia]

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

[@kessimputme5822]

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

[@ferchuckygarcia]

Yes :)

[@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?

@Jennifer_moussa hello from Instagram!

[@ferchuckygarcia]

noted!

[@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.

[@r.guerreiro140]

What about using an electric knife?

[@ferchuckygarcia]

we do it

[@drabusufian6467]

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

[@drabusufian6467]

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

[@ferchuckygarcia]

@@drabusufian6467 Definitely, I made this video for people with no experience, it is very very easy (if you can find a banana plant of course)
