Re: Wageningen U. produces bananas in the greenhouse
Rockwool is an extremely popular growing medium in the hydroponics community. It's composed of two natural ingredients, basalt rock and chalk, that are heated to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit and “spun” and cooled, transforming it into a material that is perfect for a plant's root zone.
I use it for plant cutting and seed germinating Last edited by Johnsk9 : 12-18-2018 at 01:47 PM. Reason: adding |

Re: Wageningen U. produces bananas in the greenhouse
Richard, I did look at "Container Grown Banana Plants" section .. most threads that people gave information of what they think it work and some said they done it . However no photo of fruiting banana plants in pot/ solid prove that they done it... The request here is not just growing banana plant in container... It about how to grow it successfully from day one to the day it has fruits like WAGENINGEN University & Research done it. I could make a new thread in "Container Grown Banana Plants" section, but it will be like any other threads already posted. Better off if Nick can get WAGENINGEN University & Research more information on how they done it from day one. Got to get information directly from WAGENINGEN University & Research and not just other people opinions.

Re: Wageningen U. produces bananas in the greenhouse
Dutch university grows bananas to help stamp out fungal diseases Business December 13, 2018 A banana tree. Photo: Depositphotos.com Researchers from Wageningen University are this week harvesting the first Dutch bananas which will be offered to restaurants and hospitals in the region as a ‘regional product’. The aim of the experiment, which marks the 100th anniversary of the university, is to investigate whether new ways of cultivation will help stamp out soil-borne fungal diseases which threaten banana production throughout the world. Taking the banana trees out of the soil and growing them on stone wool appears to have been very successful, says Gert Kema, professor of tropical plant pathology at the university. ‘The banana plants grow very well on coco peat and stone wool substrate with only the application of a nutrient solution,’ Kema said on the university website. ‘The Dutch banana does not need disease control, which makes cultivation more sustainable than in traditional production areas.’ Ripening There are 60 plants in the Wageningen greenhouse. ‘One of the things that we have learned is that the plant density is too high at the moment,’ Kema said. ‘We are going to adjust that, so that we will have more light and the bunches will be able to ripen faster in future experiments.’ Once the Wageningen bananas have been harvested they will be moved to a ripening centre operated by banana giant Chiquita, which is involved in the project. New breeds ‘We are on the way to developing sustainable banana cultivation with new breeds of bananas that are resistant to diseases and that are grown in healthy soils in a responsible social climate,’ Kema says. The research group is also planning a trial in the Philippines to see how precision cultivation works under ideal conditions. Bananas are a staple food for more than 400 million people in the tropics, the fourth most consumed food crop, the most consumed non-cereal staple food, and the most consumed fruit in the world, Wageningen says.
