Try this:

To make 1 litre of media, use distilled water.

2.1 grams MS medium
30 grams sugar
5 mg of BAP (5ml of stock 1000 mg / L solution)
8 grams of agar
1 ml PPM

You can add vitamins and coconut water and Indole Acetic acid, but start with this.

interesting. you do not use acid?
For example, NAA or IAA

NAA is for rooting and IAA can be added, but apparently it's not heat stable so will break down when you autoclave. I read that on another post here, I don't think it's essential and only really used for making callus, which you wont be doing.

I've been a lurker and am a newbie here. I don't know what the purpose of this medium is or what all the abbreviations refer to. This is a bit esoteric for me. Is it a liquid medium for propagation? I'd be grateful if somebody would help me with this.

It is a medium for tissue culture
In a nutshell.
vitamins, growth hormones / regulators, sugar, anti mold
the agar makes everything from liquid to solid.
such as gelatin

Thank you, Yakuza. I'm familiar with tissue culture; it's widely used for orchids and seems like a stone natural for bananas. I plan to retire soon to Thailand and plan to devote serious effort to interesting banana cultivars. I hope I can connect with some Bananas.org members over there.

Aloha,
Ken
