Default Re: What is Glui Kai?

Thought y'all might find this interesting, was searching around google for Kluai Khai and found this article:

Improvement and Production of Banana Kluai Khai Group Through Biotechnology
http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache...ient=firefox-a

Some highlights:

Transplanting medium. Growth of Kluai Khai fron tissue culture after transplanting to soil mixture of coconut fiber : sand : organic matter : cow manure : soil in the ratio of 1:1:0.5:0.5 was the best compare to the other formulars.
Now, where to buy coconut fiber...

Study on fertlizer application. Growth of Kluai Nom Sao in the field with weekly application of 0.2% urea was better than the 0.5% potassium nitrate application and water application.

So... pee in a bucket, dilute and apply?
