What is banana tissue culture?
(Q 02)
Let us briefly identify the tissue culture process.
What is done here is to produce about 200 to 300 plants per plant in a laboratory using very healthy and high quality banana tubers (mother plants).
This process takes at least 8 to 10 months. This process does not cause any genetic modification to the banana plant and produces a normal but high quality banana plant.
This is simply a superior method of producing plants, not a method of modifying plant characteristics or producing hybrids. In short, this is a typical very small banana plant.
This method is very successful and profitable in commercial plant production.
This method is only used in the production of plants in the developed countries of the world and is becoming more popular in Sri Lanka these days.
At La Agro, we strive to use the latest technology to deliver a high quality, healthy banana plant to farmers at the lowest possible cost.
