Abstract
A study of conducted at the Banana Gene Bank of the Department of Agronomy, from June 4, 1966 to November 5, 1967 to determine the influence of six kinds of planting materials on the growth and crop yield of 'Lacatan' banana.
Results showed that maiden leaf suckers, cut back 4 inches above the rhizome, with or without going out the growing point had higher germination (100%) one month after planting than bits, bullhead (both 91%), sword leaf sucker (66.3%) and untopped maiden leaf sucker (50%).
On the average, it required only 276.7 days and 283.7 days for maiden leaf sucker untopped and maiden leaf sucker out back 4 inches above the rhizome to reach the shooting stage. This was significantly earlier than the other planting materials used in this study.
No significant differences were observed on plant size, crop yield and stooling ability of the six planting materials commonly used in establishing banana plantations.
