Re: First macro propagation attempt
I suppose I should create a new post, but anyway, here is a nice example of "build it and they will come!"
One of our best day-workers, who had been off work for nearly a year as he had broken a leg, is now back in the team. He knows a few things about preparing banana pups for transplanting and was doing his thing this morning; impressive work! These are going into the polytunnel of course!

Re: First macro propagation attempt
Two of the macro propagation boxes have just finished their third week and things seem to be progressing nicely. I also think I have understood the whole process. It is quite straightforward and the next lots should be even better.
One of the corms has three well separated buds shooting out of the sawdust, a very pleasing sight indeed! |

Re: First macro propagation attempt
@Louis
I see these last picture show the corms fully covered and the multiple plantlets that appear to be on the same corm. ... Are these now responding better than the first corms? And, since these were cut with a cross, has the problem of the main meristem regrowing lessened? |

Re: First macro propagation attempt
Well done, what is your final conclusion about the macro propagation, how many plantlet were you able to produce from each sucker. And what is the ease of rooting plantlet without root.

Re: First macro propagation attempt
Thanks but we cannot draw any conclusions yet as it has only been four weeks. Another four and things will decant once we have started separating plantlets. I will also inform once the third box, the Namwa start shooting up.

Re: First macro propagation attempt
We have started separating plantlets from the first box. The corms have been in the box for five weeks and many plantlets are already over a foot in size. We cut out a chunk of corm around the base of the stem, going down the corm, catching roots when possible, if no roots available, we just take a chunk of corm. About 25 plantlets were harvested this first time round, all potted in bags and housed in the 50% green shade tent. The corms look incredibly healthy, they are hard, smell good, are full of long roots. Green power! |

Re: First macro propagation attempt
luv the cart. lightweight and functional. missing the pin on the left hand side of the gate. funny someone didn't cut a greenstick or bamboo for a pin. electrical conduit? the fenders are what grab me. make it easier to load from the side.

Re: First macro propagation attempt
This one is only two years old, bought new. They do wear them down pretty quick. Locally made!

Re: First macro propagation attempt
Here are the first plantlets, separated five and ten days ago. The lots are sorted per bag size, not separation date. They don't look as well right now as they have. Anything wrong? Or just the normal process of acclimatization?
They are in mixed soil/compost bags under 50% green shade, it's hot in the tent in the afternoon, around 38 C. Last edited by louis14 : 05-10-2018 at 04:35 AM. |
