High quality and high yield cultivation techniques of banana plantlets
Banana test-tube seedlings offer several advantages, such as being disease-free, exhibiting uniform growth, and being easy to transport, which makes them ideal for large-scale propagation of high-quality varieties. The key techniques for achieving high yield and quality in banana cultivation are outlined below:
First, soil preparation is crucial. Test-tube seedlings are sensitive to deep planting, so it's best to leave enough soil after cultivation. In the Shuitian Tea Garden, the 3-level sorghum method is recommended, with planting holes slightly higher than the 10 to 15 cm line. As the seedling grows, the soil from the cocoon should be placed into the planting hole to prevent the roots from emerging. During field preparation, ditches can be shallow initially but should be deepened later to ensure proper drainage and support for the plant.
Second, when planting, it's best to wait until the seedlings have 6 to 8 leaves. Spring planting is generally preferred because the weather is more stable. Summer and autumn planting should be done in the afternoon to avoid heat stress. In winter, especially in areas prone to cold, both winter and spring planting can be used. Before planting, acclimatize the seedlings to the local climate. When handling the seedling bags, be careful not to disturb the soil inside, as this can reduce survival rates and slow down recovery.
Third, fertilization is essential. Initially, test-tube seedlings are not very fertile, so a deep application of base fertilizer is necessary to avoid direct contact between the root system and the topsoil. Farmyard manure should be well-composted and applied at least 30 cm deep or 60–80 cm away from the planting site. After the first rain, apply top-dressing once new leaves appear. Within two months after planting, during dry periods, use a 0.1% to 0.2% compound fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, applying about 1 to 2 kg per dose. Diluted manure can also be used. On rainy days, sprinkle 1.0 gram of urea or compound fertilizer 15–20 cm away from the seedlings. Fertilize every 7–10 days, and consider foliar sprays like potassium dihydrogen phosphate, organic solutions, or Green Wang series fertilizers. Mid-term fertilization should be heavier, applied every 15–20 days, and later every 25–30 days. For spring-planted seedlings, extra attention should be given to watering and fertilizing to encourage bud development before winter.
Fourth, water management is important. In the early stages, test-tube seedlings need less water, but they must not be allowed to dry out. Water promptly during droughts. During hot periods, cover the planting hole to retain moisture. In the rainy season, ensure good drainage, especially in clay soils. Dig planting holes 30–40 cm away from the main area, raising them by 5–10 cm to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Fifth, pest control is essential. Test-tube seedlings are vulnerable to pests like Spodoptera larvae. Regular monitoring and treatment are needed. During the rainy season, older banana fields are more prone to leaf spot diseases due to the low-growing leaves of the seedlings. Spraying should be done regularly to manage these issues.
Sixth, variant removal is critical during the nursery stage. Variants such as white stripe, mosaic, malformed leaves, Qiaohua, and extra-dwarf seedlings are easy to identify and remove. Some variants, however, may be harder to detect initially. After 2–4 months, when the seedlings have 15–20 leaves, look for two major types: dwarf plants with short, thick stems and dark green, revolute leaves, and mosaic-leaf variants with upright leaves, shrunk margins, and irregular black or waxy spots. These variants may still produce fruit but with very low yield and poor quality. They should be removed as soon as possible to avoid economic loss.
Seventh, early removal of in vitro buds is important. Buds that emerge too early should be removed quickly, especially if they are numerous but small. Use a sharp tool or sickle to cut them when they reach 15–30 cm in length. Bud cutting and removal methods can also be employed to maintain plant health and productivity.
