Challenges and opportunities for macropropagation technology for Musa spp. among smallholder farmers and small-and medium-scale enterprises por Njukwe, E., Ouma, Emily A., Asten, Piet J.A. van, Muchunguzi, P., Amah, D.

“…Treatment of suckers to reduce the risks of transmitting soil-borne contaminants is strongly recommended and forms an integral component of the dissemination package for smallholder farmers. Macropropagation techniques, although genotype dependent, can produce 8-15 new plants/corm within 15 days, while secondary scarification of newly emerging buds has the potential to further increase the number of plantlets by a factor of 2-3, within the same time frame. …”
